Security in Solaris Naming Services Past, Present and (near) Future

Author: Paul Kirtland Published April 13, 2011 from SANS

This paper will provide an overview of some of the security implications of Unix naming services with a view towards the adoption of an LDAP v3 based directory. It is by no means intended to be a how-to guide -- though it will list in its references sources which, in aggregate, would provide a wealth of guidance for planning a deployment. It will be written from a Solaris perspective but much of the content is general enough to be applicable to other Unix and Linux operating environments.
