> Inconsistent SASL bind API
> --------------------------
>
> Key: DIRAPI-298
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-298
> Project: Directory Client API
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> We do have the following bind methods in {{LdapConnection}} :
> * {{void anonymousBind()}}
> * {{void bind()}}
> * {{void bind( String name )}}
> * {{void bind( String name, String credentials )}}
> * {{void bind( Dn name )}}
> * {{void bind( Dn name, String credentials )}}
> * {{BindResponse bind( BindRequest bindRequest )}}
> That does not cover any of the SASL binds.
> However, in the {{LdapNetworkConnection}}/{{AbstractLdapConnection}}
> implementation, we have the following SASL bind mehods :
> * {{void bind()}}
> * {{void bind( String name )}} (abstract)
> * {{void bind( String name, String credentials )}} (abstract)
> * {{void bind( Dn name )}} (abstract)
> * {{void bind( Dn name, String credentials )}} (abstract)
> * {{void anonymousBind()}}
> * {{BindResponse bind( BindRequest bindRequest )}}
> * {{BindResponse bind( SaslCramMd5Request request )}}
> * {{BindResponse bind( SaslDigestMd5Request request )}}
> * {{BindResponse bind( SaslGssApiRequest request )}}
> As we can see, we have dedicated methods for some of the SASL binds, but the
> SASL PLAIN ([https://docs.ldap.com/specs/rfc4616.txt]) and SASL ANONYMOUS
> ([https://docs.ldap.com/specs/rfc4616.txt]) are not present.
> The {{bindSaslPlain}} method is commented in the interface.
> At this point, we probably have to implement the missing PLAIN and ANONYMOUS
> SASL bind methods, expose them in the interface, and probably add a
> {{bindSasl( SaslRequest )}} method to cover all our bases
