Re: OpenLDAP, SASL and TLS

Is the usecase of SASL authentication with Kerberos to the LDAP server and TLS to the LDAP server for all other communication a valid one?

Certainly it is valid, and has worked in the past. Just keep in mind that what you've described here is SASL/GSSAPI + TLS on the same session. Not all LDAP servers support that, M$ AD is known to have failed on that in the past. It has been tested to work fine in OpenLDAP before.

I have not personally tested with the version of Cyrus SASL and Heimdal Kerberos you mentioned, so no comment on the current state of things.

Thanks, Kris

    There is a known bug in Cyrus SASL which triggers this problem:

    If adding "-O maxssf=0" to your ldapsearch command, when using both
    Kerberos and TLS, works then that's likely the culprit.


Apparently I can't read my own bug reports. This may or may not be your
issue.
