Hans-G?nter@24627 1 GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
Hans-G?nter@24627 2 Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms.
Hans-G?nter@24627 3 SASL is used by network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP, XMPP) to
Hans-G?nter@24627 4 request authentication from clients, and in clients to
Hans-G?nter@24627 5 authenticate against servers.
Hans-G?nter@24627 6
Hans-G?nter@24627 7 GNU SASL consists of a C library (libgsasl), a command-line
Hans-G?nter@24627 8 application (gsasl), and a manual.
Hans-G?nter@24627 9 The library supports the ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5,
Hans-G?nter@24627 10 EXTERNAL, GS2-KRB5, GSSAPI, LOGIN, NTLM, OPENID20, PLAIN,
Hans-G?nter@24627 11 SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS,
Hans-G?nter@24627 12 SAML20, and SECURID mechanisms.
Hans-G?nter@24627 13
Hans-G?nter@24627 14 The library is portable because it does not do network
Hans-G?nter@24627 15 communication by itself, but rather leaves it up to the calling
Hans-G?nter@24627 16 application.
Hans-G?nter@24627 17 The library is flexible with regards to the authorization
Hans-G?nter@24627 18 infrastructure used, as it utilizes callbacks into the application
Hans-G?nter@24627 19 to decide whether an user is authorized or not.
