Libgsasl
Jul 20, 2023
GNU SASL library
GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms.
GNU SASL consists of a library libgsasl, a command-line utility gsasl to access the library from the shell, and a manual. The library includes support for the framework with authentication functions and application data privacy and integrity functions and at least partial support for the ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, EXTERNAL, GS2-KRB5, GSSAPI, LOGIN, NTLM, PLAIN, SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, SAML20, OPENID20, and SECURID mechanisms.
The library is easily ported because it does not do network communication by itself, but rather leaves it up to the calling application. The library is flexible with regards to the authorization infrastructure used, as it utilizes a callback into the application to decide whether a user is authorized or not.
GNU SASL has been split into 2 ports
- security/gsasl the command-line utility
- security/libgsasl the library
