8.2. How the Directory Server Identifies Clients
The server keeps track of the identity of the LDAP client through the
SLAPI_CONN_DN and SLAPI_CONN_AUTHTYPE parameters.
During an LDAP
bind operation, the server authenticates the user and puts the DN and authenticated method in the SLAPI_CONN_DN and SLAPI_CONN_AUTHTYPE parameters.
When an authenticated client requests the server to perform an LDAP operation, the server checks the DN in the
SLAPI_CONN_DN parameter to determine if the client has the appropriate access rights.
