The Cyrus SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) Library v2
SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, 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.
Available flavors:
db4 - use Berkeley DB v4 for SASLDB (instead of ndbm)
ldap - enable LDAPDB auxprop plugin and LDAP enabled saslauthd
mysql pgsql sqlite - enable SQL auxprop plugin (choose one)
