GSSAPI & perl-ldap

[Gerald (J. C. <je...@sa...>]

Greetings,

After spending some time with Simon Wilkinson's
Authen::SASL::GSSAPI module from 

  http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/software/

it appears that this is not compatible with the current
Authen-SASL-2.02 distribution. Is this correct?

Things like missing a client_new() subroutine in GSSAPI.pm, 
etc...  make me wonder.  I did find the Authen-SASL-Cyrus
tarball on CPAN, but a quick glance did not give any information
on a GSSAPI mechanism.

Any pointers?  Thanks in advance.








cheers, jerry

I knew this would happen as soon as I sent my previous mail :-)
The Authen::SASL::GSSAPI module works fine if you are using the
older Authen::SASL code included with perl-ldap-0.25 (which
is the same as 0.23).

Searching Win2k Active Directory works fine.  

I'm assuming that the SASL code in perl-ldap
will go away eventually and Authen-SASL-X.XX
will be the defacto standard for LDAP SASL support.
Can anyone wager a guess when this might happen?

Other than just using older code, if all I need is the
GSSAPI stuff, are there any pitfalls of using Authen::SASL
from perl-ldap-0.25?


Thanks again.

Yes and soon. Authen::SASL has been removed from the perl-ldap
distribution in the beta releases I have done recently. Nobody has
reported big issues with the last beta release, so I will be doing
a 0.26 release as soon as I catch up from being on vacation.

Ahh...well enjoy your vacation.  :-)


Simon, Are there any plans to update the perl-cyrus-sasl code 
for the new interface?  I would be glad to volunteer to help out
if you need it.
