Hi all.
I am looking for some advice on the following topic and hoping someone
out there may have hit the same problem before:
I'm experimenting with the API in an attempt to authenticate a
User+Password combination against an instance of MS Active Directory. My
problem occurs when I use the SASL Mechanism "DIGEST-MD5", and relates
to how I set the value for the SASL Realm. Here's an example of what I see:
1. I have a standard user account in the MS Active Directory.
2. Say the Windows "Realm" is COMPANY1 and my userID is "somebody"
If I set the UserID to "somebody" and the Realm to "COMPANY1", this
works OK.
If I set the UserID to "somebody" and the Realm to "company1", this
works OK.
But if set the UserID to "somebody" and the Realm to "Company1", the
bind request is rejected.
I have read in several places that the Realm name when using
GSSAPI/Kerberos should be supplied in upper case, so I guess there must
be something connected with case sensitivity somewhere.
Is anyone able to shed any light as to where I am going wrong here?
Thanks
Andrew
