     1.4 +GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
     1.5 +Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms.
     1.6 +SASL is used by network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP, XMPP) to
     1.7 +request authentication from clients, and in clients to
     1.8 +authenticate against servers.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +GNU SASL consists of a C library (libgsasl), a command-line
    1.11 +application (gsasl), and a manual.
    1.12 +The library supports the ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5,
    1.13 +EXTERNAL, GS2-KRB5, GSSAPI, LOGIN, NTLM, OPENID20, PLAIN,
    1.14 +SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS,
    1.15 +SAML20, and SECURID mechanisms.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +The library is portable because it does not do network
    1.18 +communication by itself, but rather leaves it up to the calling
    1.19 +application.
    1.20 +The library is flexible with regards to the authorization
    1.21 +infrastructure used, as it utilizes callbacks into the application
    1.22 +to decide whether an user is authorized or not.
