I understand. But users can't login on the database server, just on the 
database. Database servers and client machines are located in different network 
zones with firewalls between them.

Also, my point was not about using LDAP(S) versus Kerberos or GSSAPI. My point 
was, that I find the description of the ldapscheme entry misleading.

Cheers,
