I'll put in my own usage for it, but it's by no means exhaustive. It's for postfix. The actual configuration is much too complicated to place there, but I'll but some pointers. > I am not a SASL expert (I do run a LDAP server and connect to it using SASL > authentication mechanisms, but I don't run saslauthd and thus have no use for > LDAP support in Cyrus-SASL), so I cannot provide you with good text. I want to use an auxprop plugin for a couple reason. saslauthd only authenticates in cleartext, but I can use cram-md5, digest-md5 or ntlm (for Outlook) with an auxprop plugin. Also, using an auxprop plugin does not require another daemon (saslauthd) to run. Applications can use a plugin directly. I'm not a sasl expert either. This all comes from the Book of Postfix. Using ldapdb with an LDAP backend, I can get TLS encrypted sessions from remote client all the way through authentication without any cleartext passwords. > Formally there is an _optional_ circular dependency.

I see what you're saying. I can only present this one situation that would make it interesting. Hopefully that's enough. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
