SASL Configuration

UVMS LDAP synchronization supports the SASL protocol.

In the ldap.xml configuration file (described in section: "LDAP Configuration File"), securityAuthentication must be set to DIGEST-MD5

In this case:

• The LDAP server must be configured to support SASL.
• The user password must be stored using reversible encryption ("Store password using reversible encryption").
• Connection to the LDAP server uses the usersAttributeI field of the ldap.xml file. For instance, in the case of the Active Directory use: usersAttributeId=sAMAccountName.
