If its use is -negotiated, a security layer is inserted between the protocol -and the connection. - -FEATURES --------- -The following mechanisms are included in this distribution: -ANONYMOUS -CRAM-MD5 -DIGEST-MD5 -GSSAPI (MIT Kerberos 5 or Heimdal Kerberos 5) -KERBEROS_V4 -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.
