Furthermore, implementing Internet Protocol security IPsec Authentication Header mode, which provides mutual authentication and packet integrity for IP traffic, can make all types of man-in-the-middle attacks difficult. Caution: If you set the server to Require signature, you must also set the client device. Not setting the client device results in loss of connection with the server.
The following table lists the actual and effective default values for this policy. Changes to this policy become effective without a device restart when they are saved locally or distributed through Group Policy. This section describes how an attacker might exploit a feature or its configuration, how to implement the countermeasure, and the possible negative consequences of countermeasure implementation.
By default LDAP traffic is unsigned an unencrypted making it vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and eavesdropping. This setting controls whether the domain controller signs data sent to the client which allows the client to make sure the data was not modified in transit. This is important because the client makes security decisions based on LDAP query results. For instance, member servers rely on LDAP queries to find out group membership or to determine which group policy objects should be applied.
If you configure this policy as None, the server will not require data signatures but will provide them if requested by the client.
What is LDAP used for? Ask Question. Asked 13 years ago. Active 3 years, 6 months ago. Viewed k times. I know that LDAP is used to provide some information and to help facilitate authorization.
But what are the other usages of LDAP? Improve this question. Kev k 50 50 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Iharob Al Asimi Very good description! Just loved it. Instead of giving a textbook answer you have just explained how it is used in real time.
Thank you! That's a rather large question. Don Branson Don Branson Matt Komarnicki 4, 5 5 gold badges 34 34 silver badges 73 73 bronze badges.

No no no. That's the function of a directory, not of LDAP. I have to agree, this is mistaking the data store for the access protocol. Guys, you are arguing that miso-soup is not a soup. Technically it is correct. You can have any amount of white space between the two key-value pairs, but you cannot have any space within each pair. The keywords, username and password, must be lowercase. If you choose, you can configure a designated directory entry to contain credentials of a database account that is shared by many users; this is the shared database account.
If you implement a shared database account, then you can specify the value for the shared database account user name and password in profile parameters for the LDAP Security Adapter profile or the ADSI Security Adapter profile instead of in an attribute value for the directory entry. For more information, see "Configuring the Shared Database Account". This attribute value is the key passed to the directory that identifies the user. In a simple implementation, the user name might be the Siebel user ID, and so it might not have to be a separate attribute.
Whether or not the password is stored in the directory depends on whether or not you are using Web SSO:. If the user is authenticated by an authentication service, such as in a Web SSO implementation, then a password attribute is not required. The Password Attribute Type parameter is used to specify the attribute type under which the user's login password is stored in the directory.
Active Directory. Active Directory does not store the password as an attribute. The password can be entered at the directory level as a function of the client, or the ADSI security adapter can use ADSI methods to create or modify a password:. If the user authenticates through Active Directory using the ADSI security adapter, then the login password must be provided.
If the user is authenticated by an authentication service, such as in a Web SSO implementation, then a password is not required. It is recommended that you implement password hashing for both user passwords and database credentials stored in the directory. You can also define access control lists ACLs to restrict access to directory objects containing password information.
