Markus,

   I know SASL/GSSAPI can do encryption according to the document
however I tried a while back to enable the encryption against AD while
doing kerberos authentication in my C program but failed. Did you really
enable the encryption successfully in the program? If so then I must
have missing something then....

Thanks.
