GSSAPI / Native Kerberos API

[Frank Balluffi]

I see that the extra binary libsasl contains sasl_* functions, but am not able to find these functions in the source tree. Where are these functions? Where does this library come from? Thanks.

Frank

You should choose SASL (RFC 2222) if it works for your application.
If that fails, you should use GSSAPI; if your applications requires
services that neither GSSAPI nor SASL can provide then you should use
raw Kerberos calls.

Using SASL (or SASL and TLS as IMAP, LDAP, BEEP and SMTP do) will
provide the greatest flexibility for your application including
support for all SASL and GSSAPI mechanisms.
