LDAP User Connection

Authenticator availability

Native (SRP) and Certificate (X.509) are the self-authenticating principal types every kS provides. Directory authenticators (the LDAP/Kerberos lineages, including the Windows and NIS samples) are build-dependent and not present in every shipped kS.

LDAP User Connection

The following example illustrates how to make a connection to a Key Server with a LDAP user.
