Hi guys,
Does anyone have experience on this to share?
I've set up a SUN LDAP server and it's running fine by
using simple authentication so far. Of course I want to
make it more secure (to protect the password while binding
to LDAP server) so I'm thinking either MD5-Digest or Kerberos.
However looks like SUN LDAP itself doesn't have kerberos
abilities and I have to install SEAM (Sun Enterprise Authentication
Mechanism) separately to enable Kerberos.....
So I was thinking that if I can easily configure SUN LDAP to
use MD5-digest then that should be the easiest however it seems
that I have to store the password as plain-text in LDAP
server to enable MD5-digest and I don't want to do that (Let
me know if there are other easier ways to enable MD5-digest).
So my question is that is it pretty easy to enable Kerberos
for SUN LDAP after installing SEAM? Or can SUN LDAP use other
KDC as well?
Thanks a lot in advance !
P.S, I know LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) can easily achieve my goal
however I kinda think it's an overkill since I don't really
need to protect all the LDAP transactions except for the
password part...
-Kent
