This is the latest release of cyrus-sasl. It is needed for the 2.1.x versions of cyrus-imapd. SASL is 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.

protocols. To use SASL, a protocol includes a command for identifying and

of subsequent protocol interactions. If its use is negotiated, a security

This is the Cyrus SASL API implentation. It can be used on the client or
|
|
server side to provide authentication. See RFC 2222 for more information.
