Hi, Im quite new to Openldap and am searching for answers to some questions on a particular case i have, i'd be glad if some one could help me out on this particular topic.
I have a situation where i have to perform an LDAP bind to a given LDAP server with only being provided a service ticket to that particular LDAP server and nothing else, i have already explored the possibility of using SASL authentication method with GSSAPI as the mechanism, however i guess the GSSAPI mechanism takes user credentials as input and moves through the Kerberos protocol to finally provide the LDAP server with the service ticket.
Wrong. The GSSAPI mechanism does exactly what you're looking for.
