<div id="RTEContent"><br> Hi,<br> <br> I have been reading the source of pam_ldap(pam_ldap-180) <br> <br> From what i understand of the authentication logic,<br> <br> 1. The username being authenticated is searched in the ldap directory to get the userdn (_get_user_info ()), following which<br> 2. a simple bind is attempted. (_connect_as_user)<br> <br> What escapes me is this, why a _connect_anonymously() call follwing step 2<br> <br> Any pointer will be much appreciated.<br> <br> Thanks<br> Vidya<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </div><p>
