1 GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
2 Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms.
3 SASL is used by network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP, XMPP) to
4 request authentication from clients, and in clients to
5 authenticate against servers.
7 GNU SASL consists of a C library (libgsasl), a command-line
8 application (gsasl), and a manual.
9 The library supports the ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5,
10 EXTERNAL, GS2-KRB5, GSSAPI, LOGIN, NTLM, OPENID20, PLAIN,
11 SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS,
12 SAML20, and SECURID mechanisms.
14 The library is portable because it does not do network
15 communication by itself, but rather leaves it up to the calling
16 application.
17 The library is flexible with regards to the authorization
18 infrastructure used, as it utilizes callbacks into the application
19 to decide whether an user is authorized or not.
