Bug#368370: O: cyrus-sasl2 -- Authentication abstraction library
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The last 11 uploads of this package have been NMUs. The last maintainer
upload was on 4 Jul 2004. The libsasl2 package has 69 rdepends, it's
a pretty important package. Someone please adopt this package.
The package description is:
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. See RFC 2222 for more information.
.
This is the Cyrus SASL API implementation, version 2.
.
Any of: ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI (MIT Kerberos 5 or Heimdal
Kerberos 5), OTP, PLAIN, or LOGIN can be used. This package is unusable
without the SASL plugins. Most likely you will need to install the
libsasl2-modules package.
