Indicates whether Enhanced Background Authentication (EBA) is enabled or not.
When a user logs in, NetIQ Modular Authentication Service (NMAS) verifies the user’s long-term credentials, such as password, and issues BA material to the user.
While authenticating to another server in the tree, the user uses this BA material. This single sign–on feature of eDirectory allows the user to authenticate to any server in the tree without providing long-term credentials again.
