Re: Bind and StrongAuthRequired



[Allow BindResponse to request a stronger authentiation mechanism]

This change makes a lot of sense; it also suggests removing the requirement in [draft-ietf-ldapbis-authmeth-03.txt: para G.12] that states that servers MUST support password based authentication.

If a server is allowed to reject binds for reasons of lack of strength, it's silly to require a server to advertise a mechanism that it knows in advance it's going to reject.

BTW, were there any changes made to the auth document?
