Hi everyone,

As I have previously mentioned, I have spent the last few weeks setting up an ldap server. So far, I have got authentication working for logins and samba (even created a domain and joined it!).

My question is this:

What is needed to make it secure? I have set it up to work with SSL/TLS and can see the packets going to and from the server on port 636 (ldaps). As far as I'm aware this is secure. However, all the documentation I can find on the web tells me that sasl and/or kerberos is needed to make it super-secure. Is this correct? Do people think it's needed, or is it good enough to be using TLS?

I notice that some of the ldap tools don't work properly without it, but the ones I need do so it's not too much of an issue just yet. My biggest thing is that it's taking a LOT longer than I thought. I would rather make it "good" than "cheap", but is the extra time this would take worth it?

Thanks,
Phil.
