An LDAP bind is required when using +Version 2 of the LDAP protocol; it is optional for Version 3 but is +usually needed due to security considerations. +.LP +There are three types of bind calls, ones providing simple authentication, +ones providing SASL authentication, and general routines capable of doing +either simple or SASL authentication. +.LP +.B SASL +(Simple Authentication and Security Layer) +can negotiate one of many different kinds of authentication. +Both synchronous and asynchronous versions of each variant of the bind +call are provided. All routines +take \fIld\fP as their first parameter, as returned from +.BR ldap_init (3). +.SH SIMPLE AUTHENTICATION +The simplest form of the bind call is +.BR ldap_simple_bind_s() . +It takes the DN to bind as in \fIwho\fP, and the userPassword associated +with the entry in \fIpasswd\fP. It returns an LDAP error indication +(see +.BR ldap_error (3)). +The +.B ldap_simple_bind() +call is asynchronous, +taking the same parameters but only initiating the bind operation and +returning the message id of the request it sent. The result of the +operation can be obtained by a subsequent call to +.BR ldap_result (3). +The +.B ldap_sasl_bind_s() +and asynchronous +.B ldap_sasl_bind() +functions can also be used to make a simple bind by using +LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE as the SASL mechanism. +.SH GENERAL AUTHENTICATION +The +.B ldap_bind() +and +.B ldap_bind_s() +routines can be used when the +authentication method to use needs to be selected at runtime. They +both take an extra \fImethod\fP parameter selecting the authentication +method to use. It should be set to LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE +to select simple authentication. +.B ldap_bind() +returns the message id of the request it initiates. +.B ldap_bind_s() +returns an LDAP error indication. +.SH SASL AUTHENTICATION +For SASL binds the server always ignores any provided DN, so the +.I dn +parameter should always be NULL. +.BR ldap_sasl_bind_s () +sends a single SASL bind request with the given SASL +.I mechanism +and credentials in the +.I cred +parameter. The format of the credentials depends on the particular +SASL mechanism in use. For mechanisms that provide mutual authentication +the server's credentials will be returned in the +.I servercredp +parameter. +The routine returns an LDAP error indication (see +.BR ldap_error (3)). +The +.BR ldap_sasl_bind () +call is asynchronous, taking the same parameters but only sending the +request and returning the message id of the request it sent. The result of +the operation can be obtained by a subsequent +call to +.BR ldap_result (3). +The result must be additionally parsed by +.BR ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result () +to obtain any server credentials sent from the server. +.LP +Many SASL mechanisms require multiple message exchanges to perform a +complete authentication. Applications should generally use +.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s () +rather than calling the basic +.BR ldap_sasl_bind () +functions directly. The +.I mechs +parameter should contain a space-separated list of candidate mechanisms +to use. If this parameter is NULL or empty the library will query +the supportedSASLMechanisms attribute from the server's rootDSE +for the list of SASL mechanisms the server supports. The +.I flags +parameter controls the interaction used to retrieve any necessary +SASL authentication parameters and should be one of: +.TP +LDAP_SASL_AUTOMATIC +use defaults if available, prompt otherwise +.TP +LDAP_SASL_INTERACTIVE +always prompt +.TP +LDAP_SASL_QUIET +never prompt +.LP +The +.I interact +function uses the provided +.I defaults +to handle requests from the SASL library for particular authentication +parameters. There is no defined format for the +.I defaults +information; +it is up to the caller to use whatever format is appropriate for the +supplied +.I interact +function. +The +.I sasl_interact +parameter comes from the underlying SASL library. When used with Cyrus SASL +this is an array of +.B sasl_interact_t +structures. The Cyrus SASL library will prompt for a variety of inputs, +including: +.TP +SASL_CB_GETREALM +the realm for the authentication attempt +.TP +SASL_CB_AUTHNAME +the username to authenticate +.TP +SASL_CB_PASS +the password for the provided username +.TP +SASL_CB_USER +the username to use for proxy authorization +.TP +SASL_CB_NOECHOPROMPT +generic prompt for input with input echoing disabled +.TP +SASL_CB_ECHOPROMPT +generic prompt for input with input echoing enabled +.TP +SASL_CB_LIST_END +indicates the end of the array of prompts +.LP +See the Cyrus SASL documentation for more details. +.LP +Applications which need to manage connections asynchronously may use +.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind () +instead of the synchronous version. +A valid mechs parameter must be supplied, otherwise the library will +be forced to query the server for a list of supported mechanisms, +and this query will be performed synchronously. +The other parameters are the same as +for the synchronous function, with three additional parameters. +The actual SASL mechanism that was used, and the message ID for use +with +.BR ldap_result () +will be returned in rmechp and msgidp, respectively. +The value in rmechp must not be modified by the caller and must be +passed back on each subsequent call. The message obtained from +.BR ldap_result () +must be passed in the result parameter. +This parameter must be NULL when initiating a new Bind. The caller +must free the result message after each call using +.BR ldap_msgfree (). +The +.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind () +function returns an LDAP result code. If the code is +LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS then the Bind is not complete yet, and +this function must be called again with the next result from the server. +.SH REBINDING +.LP +The +.B ldap_set_rebind_proc +function() sets the process to use for binding when an operation returns a +referral. This function is used when an application needs to bind to another server +in order to follow a referral or search continuation reference. +.LP +The function takes \fIld\fP, the \fIrebind\fP function, and the \fIparams\fP, +the arbitrary data like state information which the client might need to properly rebind. +The LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option in the \fIld\fP must be set to ON for the libraries +to use the rebind function. Use the +.BR ldap_set_option +function to set the value. +.LP +The rebind function parameters are as follows: +.LP +The \fIld\fP parameter must be used by the application when binding to the +referred server if the application wants the libraries to follow the referral. +.LP +The \fIurl\fP parameter points to the URL referral string received from the LDAP server. +The LDAP application can use the +.BR ldap_url_parse (3) +function to parse the string into its components. +.LP +The \fIrequest\fP parameter specifies the type of request that generated the referral. +.LP +The \fImsgid\fP parameter specifies the message ID of the request generating the referral. +.LP +The \fIparams\fP parameter is the same value as passed originally to the +.BR ldap_set_rebind_proc () +function. +.LP +The LDAP libraries set all the parameters when they call the rebind function. The application +should not attempt to free either the ld or the url structures in the rebind function. +.LP +The application must supply to the rebind function the required authentication information such as, +user name, password, and certificates. The rebind function must use a synchronous bind method. +.SH UNBINDING +The +.B ldap_unbind() +call is used to unbind from the directory, +terminate the current association, and free the resources contained +in the \fIld\fP structure. Once it is called, the connection to +the LDAP server is closed, and the \fIld\fP structure is invalid. +The +.B ldap_unbind_s() +call is just another name for +.BR ldap_unbind() ; +both of these calls are synchronous in nature. +.LP +The +.B ldap_unbind_ext() +and +.B ldap_unbind_ext_s() +allows the operations to specify controls. +.SH ERRORS +Asynchronous routines will return \-1 in case of error, setting the +\fIld_errno\fP parameter of the \fIld\fP structure. Synchronous +routines return whatever \fIld_errno\fP is set to. See +.BR ldap_error (3) +for more information. +.SH NOTES +If an anonymous bind is sufficient for the application, the rebind process +need not be provided. The LDAP libraries with the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option +set to ON (default value) will automatically follow referrals using an anonymous bind. +.LP +If the application needs stronger authentication than an anonymous bind, +you need to provide a rebind process for that authentication method. +The bind method must be synchronous. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ldap (3), +.BR ldap_error (3), +.BR ldap_open (3), +.BR ldap_set_option (3), +.BR ldap_url_parse (3) +.B RFC 4422 +(http://www.rfc-editor.org), +.B Cyrus SASL +(http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project diff --git a/doc/man/man3/ldap_bind.3.links b/doc/man/man3/ldap_bind.3.links new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ffaedd5 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/man/man3/ldap_bind.3.links @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +ldap_bind_s.3 +ldap_simple_bind.3 +ldap_simple_bind_s.3 +ldap_sasl_bind.3 +ldap_sasl_bind_s.3 +ldap_unbind.3 +ldap_unbind_ext.3 +ldap_unbind_s.3 +ldap_unbind_ext_s.3 +ldap_set_rebind_proc.3 |
