Puppet Class: cis_security_hardening::rules::ldapd

Defined in:
manifests/rules/ldapd.pp

Summary

Ensure LDAP server is not enabled

Overview

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) was introduced as a replacement for NIS/YP. It is a service that provides a method for looking up information from a central database.

Rationale: If the system will not need to act as an LDAP server, it is recommended that the software be disabled to reduce the potential attack surface.

Examples:

class { 'cis_security_hardening::rules::ldapd':
    enforce => true,
}

Parameters:

  • enforce (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Enforce the rule
