| | | <para>OpenDJ now lets you delegate authentication to another LDAP |
| | | directory service, such as Active Directory. The feature is called |
| | | <firstterm>pass through authentication</firstterm> (PTA) (OPENDJ-262). |
| | | With PTA, OpenDJ replays a user's simple bind operation against the remote |
| | | directory service. If the bind is successful, OpenDJ considers the user |
| | | authenticated to perform subsequent operations like searches and updates |
| | | in OpenDJ.</para> |
| | | <itemizedlist> |
| | | <para>For PTA to work, OpenDJ must be able to match its OpenDJ entry for |
| | | the user with the user's entry on the remote directory service. The two |
| | | entries must correspond in one of the following ways.</para> |
| | | <listitem> |
| | | <para>Both the OpenDJ entry and the remote entry have the same DN.</para> |

| | | <para>The OpenDJ entry has an attribute that holds the DN of the entry |
| | | on the remote directory service.</para> |

| | | <para>The OpenDJ entry and the remote entry share an attribute that |
| | | has exactly the same value.</para> |

| | | <para>If user entries do not match originally, you can no doubt add an |
| | | attribute to users' OpenDJ entries when configuring them to use pass |
| | | through authentication.</para> |
| | | <!-- TODO: Add an olink when we have support for such things. --> |
| | | <para>To configure PTA, you set up an LDAP pass through authentication |
| | | policy in OpenDJ's configuration, and then assign the policy to users in |
| | | the same way you would assign a password policy. See the |
| | | <citetitle>Administration Guide</citetitle> for details.</para> |

| | | <para>OpenDJ can now synchronize Samba password attribute values with the |
| | | <literal>userPassword</literal> attribute value, ensuring that when users |
| | | change their LDAP passwords in OpenDJ or change their LanMan or NT |
| | | passwords in Samba, their password attribute values all stay in sync |
| | | (OPENDJ-233). To activate this feature, configure the OpenDJ Samba |
| | | Password plugin by using the <command>dsconfig</command> command.</para> |
