I have been asked a question relating to when authenticated and
anonymous binds are made to a LDAP directory, and I was hoping someone
might be able to provide some assistance...
After a user authenticates to Linux server via LDAP, and issues a UNIX
command, say ls will subsequent queries to LDAP be made in order to
determine the uid of the user issuing the command for purposes of
determining if the user can execute the command, and read the
directory/file target of the ls command, or is that cached in the
initial authentication? If subsequent LDAP queries are made for this
type of information, are they authenticated or anonymous binds?
Thanks in advanced.
