who can tell me how the ldap protocol really looks like? The syntax used
for the protocol specification in RFC-1777 doesn't really help me to
understand the actual representation in the TCP/IP packages. I even tried
to read the ASN.1 specification but got a headache after the third page.
Another idea was to run slapd from inetd and log the whole communication
going on - but there is nothing going on. It seems my slapd refuses to
work under the -i option.
How does for example the bind request look like in its BER encoded form?
BindRequest ::=
[APPLICATION 0] SEQUENCE {
version INTEGER (1 .. 127),
name LDAPDN,
authentication CHOICE {
simple [0] OCTET STRING,
krbv42LDAP [1] OCTET STRING,
krbv42DSA [2] OCTET STRING
}
}
Thanks,
Stefan
