SASL is a pluggable authentication framework, so it is a bit abstract when you read about it.We're going for the TLS based solution. However, I'd like a better understanding of SASL, so let me post these questions:
- What can SASL be used for besides Kerberos integration?
There are two different ways to use TLS to facilitate authentication :
- The RHDS documentation says that TLS can be used as an authentication mechanism, but doesn't provide much details.
There's a way to get the list of supported SASL mechanisms from the rootDSE.
- How can I check if SASL is enabled on my LDAP server (RHDS)?
