Understanding Bind Options for LDAP Authentication
There are several authentication methods available in LDP that allow a client to bind to an LDAP server. The best method depends on several factors.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
Simple |
Cleartext password. Try not to use this, as it is not secure. |
MSN |
MSN (Microsoft Network) authentication. This package brings up a dialog box to prompt the user for MSN credentials. |
DPA |
Normandy authentication, new MSN authentication. Same usage as MSN. |
NTLM |
Windows NT domain authentication. Use NULL credentials and attempt to use default logged-in user credentials. |
Sicily |
Negotiate with the server for any of: MSN, DPA, NTLM. Should be used for LDAPv2 servers only. |
Negotiate |
Use GSSAPI Negotiate package to negotiate security package of either Kerberos V5 or NTLM (or any other package the client and server negotiate). Pass in NULL credentials to specify default logged-in user. If Negotiate package is not installed on server or client, this will fall back to Sicily negotiation. |
