Thank you for the response.

My apologies for asking questions on LDAP.

* So, I assume Calendar Server will use LDAP bind command to authenticate user against LDAP.

My question is which LDAP password will it use to authenticate the user supplied password received at 8008/8443?

Where is the LDAP password located that LDAP bind command will use to login/authenticate incoming user.

Best Regards,

Gaurav Jain

You don’t specify a password attribute in Calendar Server's LDAP configuration — authentication is done via an LDAP bind command.

An LDAP administrator might choose to configure their LDAP server to not return certain sensitive attributes to unauthenticated searches, so the “credentials” section allows you to set the dn and password to use to authenticate with the LDAP server in that case.
