Preferred authentication mechanism - LDAPS or startTLS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi group,

I'm currently looking into LDAP authentication and would like to know about
what is the preferred authentication mechanism.  If I want to use TLS for
authentication, should I use LDAPS or startTLS?

>From my understanding, LDAPS was introduced in LDAPv2 and startTLS is
introduced in LDAPv3.

I surfed on the Internet, and it appears that startTLS should be deprecating
LDAPS but a lot of people are still using LDAPS today.

Beside startTLS, what are some other popular LDAP authentication mechanisms
that is widely use in today's enterprise world?

Thanks!

David
