authentication mechanism was used
(for example, in cases of anonymous
authentication).
• SLAPD_AUTH_SIMPLE specifies that
simple authentication (user name and
password) was used to authenticate
the current user.
• SLAPD_AUTH_SSL specifies that SSL
(certificate-based authentication) was
used to authenticate the current user.
• SLAPD_AUTH_SASL specifies that a
SASL (Simple Authentication and
Security Layer) mechanism was used
to authenticate the current user.
