AD(LDAP) Authentication, bind with no password.
Issue
- User has JBoss Fuse configured to authentication against LDAP (Active Directory).
- While testing of logging for login failures user discovered that when prompted for a password, user was authenticated when providing NO password.
- When user provided a bad password login fails.
- User did some interactive testing with AD and it converts a bind request to anonymous when NO password is required. user haven't read the RFC, but other reading user have done indicates that this is in fact correct LDAP behavior.
- This means that Fuse must BLOCK login attempts with blank passwords.
Environment
- Red Hat JBoss Fuse
- 6.1.0
