Hi

I'd like to inventorise (and eventually disable) anynomous binds on an LDAP
server with many different client applications.  I am evaluating stats logs,
and I see that most anonymous binds are logged as:

conn=32743 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128
conn=32743 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text=

However some connections log no BIND operation at all, just SRCH ops etc.
I cannot replicate this behaviour with ldapsearch, it comes from an old
java client.

So looking for 'BIND dn=""' is not enough - how can I reliably identify
anonymous binds?  Looking for each op=0 and if it's not a SRCH, assume it's
an anonymous bind as well?

We have no "features" like bind_v2, bind_anon_cred etc enabled.

Second question is what is the proper way to disable anonymous access?
Through access controls (which we already have in place for fine-grained
write access control), or on server-wide level by 'disallow bind_anon' ?

Thanks

        
        Geert
