Introduction to CyrusSASL

Cyrus SASL is the Carnegie Mellon University Implementation of the SASL C API. SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, 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.

Configuring

Bootscript

Install the init script included in the bootscripts package.

make install-cyrus-sasl

After installing the bootscript you will want to edit it and put the proper auth mech in.
