Hi, Am 30.10.2010 um 11:27 schrieb Bastian Kirchner: > the bindPassword is the password of the LDAP account defined in bindDN. The > bindDN is the ldap account SOGo uses for LDAP queries. I'm not so firm with LDAP, but got it run with SOGo ... but I will give it a try to explain in my words:
This account (bindUser/bindPassword) is a technical user for connecting to LDAP. The user authentication will be managed by the technical user after login with it; it will send the user credentials to the ldap server as a LDAP query. Albert says, they use LDAP for authentication users, I think they use it directly with bind - when a server accept the given user credentials, the user is authenticated (a cheap ;-) way for authentication). SOGo prefers IMHO the "good" way by let the technical user make a LDAP query for Auth. Hope, what I wrote, is not totally wrong ... ;-)) Greetings, Martin-- [email protected] https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
