  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"vCenter Server AD anonymous LDAP binding credential bypass

  vCenter Server when deployed in an environment that uses Active Directory (AD) with anonymous LDAP
  binding enabled doesn't properly handle login credentials. In this environment, authenticating to
  vCenter Server with a valid user name and a blank password may be successful even if a non-blank
  password is required for the account.

  The issue is present on vCenter Server 5.1, 5.1a and 5.1b if AD anonymous LDAP binding is enabled.
  The issue is addressed in vCenter Server 5.1 Update 1 by removing the possibility to authenticate
  using blank passwords. This change in the authentication mechanism is present regardless if
  anonymous binding is enabled or not.

  Workaround

  The workaround is to discontinue the use of AD anonymous LDAP binding if it is enabled in your
  environment. AD anonymous LDAP binding is not enabled by default. The TechNet article listed in
  the references section explains how to check for anonymous binding (look for 'anonymous binding'
  in the article: anonymous binding is enabled if the seventh bit of the dsHeuristics attribute is
  set to 2)
