This is a port of Cyrus SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer).
|
|
SASL is a method for adding authentication support to connection-based
|
|
protocols. To use SASL, a protocol includes a command for identifying and
|
|
authenticating a user to a server and for optionally negotiating protection of
|
|
subsequent protocol interactions. If its use is negotiated, a security layer is
|
|
inserted between the protocol and the connection.
|
|
The following mechanisms are included in this distribution: ANONYMOUS,
|
|
CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI (MIT Kerberos 5 or Heimdal Kerberos 5), KERBEROS_V4
|
|
and PLAIN.
|
|
The library can use a Berkeley DB, gdbm or ndbm file on the server side
|
|
to store per-user authentication secrets. The utility saslpasswd has been
|
|
included for adding authentication secrets to the file.
|
|
PLAIN can either check /etc/passwd, Kerberos V4, use PAM, or the sasl
|
|
secrets database. By default PAM is used if PAM is found, then Kerberos,
|
|
finally /etc/passwd (non-shadow). This is tweakable in the configuration file.
|
|
Please see "${PREFIX}/share/doc/sasl/sysadmin.html".
|
|
The sample directory contains two programs which provide a reference for
|
|
using the library, as well as making it easy to test a mechanism on the command
|
|
line. See "${PREFIX}/share/doc/sasl/programming.html" for more information.
