4.14.2. Proxy behavior

LdapProxy is a module built for parsing the LDAP protocol version v2 and v3. It reads and parses the REQUESTs at the client side and - if the local security policy permits - sends them to the server. It parses the arriving RESPONSE and - if the local security policy permits - forwards it to the client. LdapProxy can parse the following requests and responses, consequently, these requests can be accepted or denied:
