One way will be by modifying the ACIs to do not allow anonymous read access to attributes. Not sure if there is an "easy way" to disable anonymous access to the directory in the Console.

For example commands like ldapsearch -x -h "some ip" "(cn=abcd)" -b "some base" would fail with LdapErr: DSID-0C090627, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection. but commands like ldapsearch -x -h "some ip" "(cn=abcd)" -b "some base" -D "some user dn" -W would work on entering correct password. How can we replicate this behavior with the fedora directory server ? through access control lists, you can disable anonymous access and specify authorization You can refer the below http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Managing_Access_Control-Default_ACIs.html http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Managing_Access_Control-Access_Control_Usage_Examples.html Regards, Shivraj -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users ======================================================================================== AVISO LEGAL: Esta informaci?n es privada y confidencial y est? dirigida ?nicamente a su destinatario.
