Re: what's the difference between a connect, bind and authentication?



Connect and Bind are LDAP terms really, so they aren't related to a network
logon. Logging into a machine on the domain does not use LDAP.

When doing LDAP, a connection is established to a directory by opening a
socket. A Bind operation in LDAP authenticates the user and changes the
state of the connection to "authenticated" until another bind or unbind is
performed. Operations performed after a bind will be done using the
security context of the user who authenticated.

Note that if logon scripts are involved, they may very well be coded to do
LDAP operations, but they are not specifically part of the login.
