Many passwords
In general, a person may have many different passwords, for
authenticating himself or herself to different Internet hosts or
different applications (database systems on database servers, etc).
The userPassword attribute of the standard LDAPv3 schemas (RFC 2256)
is multi-valued, but simply providing a set of passwords isn't good
enough since it doesn't say which password is for which
host/application. The same is true of userCertificate.
How is this handled? Is each value of userPassword treated as
compound entry that specifies both the password and what it's a
password for (ugh!)?
Thanks.
