openldap authentication

[Jyotishmaan]

Hello List,

Recently I had been exploring the authentication types- Weak and Strong type of authentication mainly!!

Can you plz give some pointers in that direction as such to classify the openldap authentication-weak or strong. Please justify??



 
Thanks,
Jyotishmaan Ray

Weak authentication is single- factor, e.g. password only.  Strong
authentication incorporates more than one factor, e.g. knowledge of a
PIN and possession of the ATM card. Typically, strong authentication is
not handled by the ldap store, but rather a dedicated authentication
system often via SASL.
