Configure OpenLDAP Clients
An XCCDF Group
Description
This section provides information on which security settings are
important to configure in OpenLDAP clients by manually editing the appropriate
configuration files. Ubuntu 16.04 provides an automated configuration tool called
authconfig and a graphical wrapper for authconfig called
system-config-authentication. However, these tools do not provide as
much control over configuration as manual editing of configuration files. The
authconfig tools do not allow you to specify locations of SSL certificate
files, which is useful when trying to use SSL cleanly across several protocols.
Installation and configuration of OpenLDAP on Ubuntu 16.04 is available at
warning alert: Warning
Before configuring any system to be an
LDAP client, ensure that a working LDAP server is present on the
network.
