The Cyrus SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
|
|

|

|
|
SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method
|
|
|
|
|
for adding authentication support to connection-based protocols.
|
|
|
|
|
To use SASL, a protocol includes a command for identifying and
|
|
|
|
|
authenticating a user to a server and for optionally negotiating
|
|
|
|
|
protection of subsequent protocol interactions. If its use is
|
|
|
|
|
negotiated, a security layer is inserted between the protocol
|
|
|
|
|
and the connection.
