Fix Version/s: 2.0-M1
> Add a feture to support TLS in DelegatingAuthenticator
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSERVER-1617
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1617
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.7
> Reporter: Kiran Ayyagari
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0-M1
>
>
> Current implementation of DelegatingAuthenticator uses plain socket connection which makes it vulnerable to MITM attacks.
> It will be good to setup TLS (using startTLS extended operation) after establishing a connection.
> We should also add a configuration option to selectively turn on/off this option with a new attributetype named like 'useTLS'
> in the 'ads-delegatingAuthenticator' objectclass.
