Id without Password
Hi All!
Here's the X.501 statement about the authorization level when a password
is not provided with the identity being checked:
X.501 1993, 16.4.2.3:
'For access control purposes, the "simple" authentication level
requires a password; THE CASE OF IDENTIFICATION ONLY, WITH NO
PASSWORD SUPPLIED, IS CONSIDERED "NONE".' [KLD supplied emphasis.]
This helps with the 'no password' case. However, I did not notice
anything about the 'password in the clear' case.
Regards,
Kathy Dally
