Re: Disable LDAP anonymous win2003

Joe Thank you for your response.

Out auditors suggested that we turn off all anonymous bind to LDAP and in
order for me to say that we cannot turn off this setting I need to have some
proof.


Thank You

Anonymous rootDSE access is part of the LDAP V3 specification. There is
currently no way to disable that.

I also think this is used by DC locator, so this would break core parts of
Windows if it was disabled.

Why is that a concern, anyway?

Jorge thank you for your response, sorry for not wording my question
properly.

Is there a way to disable anonymous rootDse access.


Thank You Again,

anonymous acces is only enabled for the rootDse, not the rest of AD. for
that you would need to enable anonymous access AND assign permissions
because the data is still protected by ACls

Hello ALL:
The dsHeuristics attribute value is not set under ADSIedit.msc but
according
to default win2003 behavior the anonymous users can still check the
attributes. Is there a way for me to disable this setting so anonymous
user
will not get any info when they try to connect to AD via LDAP?

I found following articles on this issues, but no help in disabling the
anonymous access to the attributes:
1.

2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326690/

Thank You in advance for your help...
