Why is AuthLDAPCompareAsUser discouraged?

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

 



I had to enable this option, because FreeIPA 4 doesn't make group
membership visible to anonymous binds.  The documentation for this
option says:

  This directive should only be used when your LDAP server doesn't
  accept anonymous comparisons and you cannot use a dedicated
  AuthLDAPBindDN.

I've been trying to think of a way in which creating an additional LDAP
user, just for this purpose, and storing its password in cleartext in a
configuration file is a better option.  I can't come up with anything.

Does anyone know why this option is discouraged?
