Gordon Sim commented on PROTON-950:
-----------------------------------
The transport condition at th point of error merely states 'Authentication
failed'. That is certainly better than nothing, but it doesn't explain that the
reason was that there was no mutually acceptable mechanism as opposed to PLAIN
proceeding but the credentials being invalid.
> SASL PLAIN over cleartext should be supported

> Key: PROTON-950
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-950
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: proton-c
> Affects Versions: 0.10
> Reporter: Ted Ross
> Assignee: Andrew Stitcher
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.10, 0.11
>
>
> In the current 0.10 alpha, if SASL PLAIN is selected, it will only work if
> the connection is encrypted (using SSL). This is a surprising change of
> behavior from earlier versions of Proton and it's arguable that a security
> policy like that should be left to the application using the Proton library.
