For authmeth -10, the single, consolidated section on anonymous authentication now states that LDAP implementations MUST support anonymous authentication with no other qualifications. The fact that Start TLS is a required-to-implement operation implies that implementations MUST support anonymous authentication when TLS is established.

Huh? Why allow implementations to not support anonymous authentication on secure connections, but support it on insecure ones? I could understand it if it was the other way around - along with not implementing Simple Bind at all without TLS. -- Hallvard |
