Hi Vlado,
Thanks. I'm playing around with LDAP security, config, etc so that I
can verify it and write some docs someday.
Note, I found an issue, revision 5181, tested with a local server. If
unauthenticated binds are allowed on the server, then logging in to
cumin with a blank password will be allowed.
I added a check to disallow passing a blank password to the LDAP
server -- I think this is a simple fix and doesn't really degrade
functionality (who wants a blank password anyway, and how many servers
allow unauthenticated binds?)
Best,
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
we have stunnel running in daemon mode bound on lo. Cumin is
querying the local port and stunnel is encapsulating the traffic into
ssl. There is no user access to the server so in our case we don't need
the support for ssl directly. Python ldap module has ssl support, I can
create a patch for that if you want. Do you have a specific version
number that I should use or should I create it directly against trunk ?
B.R.
