#4155 Wrong description for 'ldap_default_authtok' in 'sssd-ldap' man page
Closed: cloned-to-github 5 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 5 years ago by tscherf.

# man 5 sssd-ldap
ldap_default_authtok (string)
           The authentication token of the default bind DN. Only clear text passwords are currently supported.

Obcuscated passwords are supported for quite some time already.


Hi Thorsten,

thanks for the report. Would you like to send a PR for this? While it is in general a good idea to add more details to man page entries I think it is important to mention clear text password here first. An obfuscated password is only obfuscated in sssd.conf but it will be used in clear text on the wire when doing the LDAP bind. So as long as there is not TLS tunnel the password is send in clear text over the network.

bye,
Sumit
