This paper will discuss the various security exposures and possible solutions when implementing LDAP directories. Risk is a product of threat, vulnerability, and cost. However, always keep in mind that anything times zero is zero. Even though the level of confidentiality of the data in a public directory may be very low, the integrity of that data always needs to be protected. Thus, we always need to factor in security considerations in our LDAP implementations. For a good overview of LDAP itself, please see the web articles, "LDAP: Use as Directed"1 by Tim Howes, and "Overview & Security Aspects of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)"2 by Louis R. Brand.
