hello!!! thanks for the resposnse I was hoping not to use SASL since
this means that it is a third party software. I was planning on using
the native protocols available to the OS such as the ldap and the
kerberos. Do u know how to use the kerberos with ldap? so is it not
possible now to use kerberos directly with ldap since this is a LDAP
v3?

thanks so much for the help. :)
