dsaAnonymousBinds

Module: DSA-MIB

OID (symbolic): DSA-MIB::dsaAnonymousBinds

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.29.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Number of anonymous binds to this DSA from DUAs since application start.

What is dsaAnonymousBinds?

Counts anonymous binds to this Directory System Agent from DUAs (client applications) since the DSA last started. A rising count of anonymous binds relative to authenticated ones can signal misconfigured clients or someone browsing the directory without credentials.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.29.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DSA-MIB::dsaAnonymousBinds

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.29.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DSA-MIB::dsaAnonymousBinds.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dsaAnonymousBinds.1

Start monitoring X.500 Directory System Agent / LDAP directory server (vendor-neutral) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the DSA-MIB::dsaAnonymousBinds OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any X.500 Directory System Agent / LDAP directory server (vendor-neutral) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an X.500 Directory System Agent / LDAP directory server (vendor-neutral) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type dsaAnonymousBinds into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of anonymous binds to this DSA from DUAs since application start. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
