To authenticate to the LDAP server is the unique username and corresponding password sufficient? Or do we also need the context?
If we need the context, do we obtain it by querying the root DSE? Does anonymous binding need to be allowed to get the root DSE? And if so, doesn't that defeat the purpose of having authentication? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Megginson Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 5:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Handling Failover Standard8 wrote: > Rich Megginson wrote: > >> Standard8 wrote: >> >>> Rich Megginson wrote: >>> >>>> Michael Pratt wrote: >>>> >>>>> Thanks for the update Anton.

In addition to the switches below, if DIST is set appropriately (e.g. $(DIST)/include/nspr and $(DIST)/lib) at make time, no changes should be required. --with-system-nss Use system installed NSS --with-nss[=PATH] Build libssldap, using NSS for crypto - optional PATH is path to NSS package --with-nss-inc=PATH Netscape Portable Runtime (NSS) include file directory --with-nss-lib=PATH Netscape Portable Runtime (NSS) library directory --with-nss-prefix=PFX Prefix where NSS is installed --with-nss-exec-prefix=PFX Exec prefix where NSS is installed --with-system-nspr Use system installed NSPR --with-nspr=PATH Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) directory --with-nspr-inc=PATH Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) include file directory --with-nspr-lib=PATH Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) library directory --with-nspr-prefix=PFX Prefix where NSPR is installed --with-nspr-exec-prefix=PFX Exec prefix where NSPR is installed _______________________________________________ dev-tech-ldap mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-ldap _______________________________________________ dev-tech-ldap mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-ldap
