Description Dennis Conrad 2005-07-13 11:57:19 UTC
(Stolen from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96767 ):

pam_ldap will send credentials in plaintext if a slave ldap server refers it to
a master server during a password change operation. The ldap.conf "ssl
start_tls" setting is not enforced on referrals (and openldap doesn't currently
allow it due to a bug).
