Restricting LDAP search for a normal AD account DamonChong 01-12-2006

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for taking time to answer my question. I am new to
Active Directory and would like to know if it is possible to restrict
or prevent normal AD user account from performing LDAP searches against
the AD? It seems like in Windows 2000 AD will allow LDAP searches
initiated by any valid AD user accounts against the AD (anonymous LDAP
search already disabled).

We have users using LDAP clients, using their AD account IDs and
passwords to perform LDAP searches. I wonder if this behaviour can be
disabled for all AD user accounts or specific AD user accounts. Thank
you.

Regards,
Damon

Accounts need to be able to query AD with ldap in order to function.
However, all accounts do not have access to everything. You did
notice that all AD objects have ACLs, right ?
