is that common to use kerberos authentication for SUN iplanet LDAP server?

[Markus Moeller]

Craig,

you say you use SASL + SSL. As far as I know SASL/GSSAPI can do encryption 
too. What was the reason not to use SASL/GSSAPI with encryption. And example 
is AD, which can be accessed via SASL/GSSAPI with encryption.

Thanks
Markus
