New RFE for your consideration

  • 1.  New RFE for your consideration

    Posted Tue December 17, 2019 06:59 PM

    The following RFE comes from a real need of an European customer but I think it could be useful to a lot more customers.

    Currently old client versions, OleDB (not sure about .NET) and some 3rd party drivers can't connect to PAM enabled listeners. This doesn't really make sense if the PAM listener is configured for password mode.

    Most recent LDAP servers used by operating systems for authentication will not send the encrypted password in response to a getpwnam() system call. And therefore, Informix native OS authentication will not succeed and customers need to move to PAM. However, old client versions, OleDB and some 3rd party drivers will not work, leaving customers in a dead end.

    If you think this can happen to you, please vote:
