Ted Ross created PROTON-152: ------------------------------- Summary: SASL architecture does not support security layers Key: PROTON-152 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-152 Project: Qpid Proton Issue Type: Bug Components: proton-c Affects Versions: 0.2 Reporter: Ted Ross Priority: Blocker
SASL can optionally insert a security layer in the data stream for a connection. The security layer encrypts/signs/decrypts the data stream. In this way it is architecturally similar to SSL: It performs a handshake in-the-clear and then inserts itself into the stream to provide link security. Without this support, mechanisms like GSSAPI (Kerberos5) cannot be used. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
