I have a few simple questions (I hope).
I have noticed that Cyrus IMAP 2.2.3 has a rather extensive support for GSS-API (part of Kerberos5). I'm pleased to see that all 4 major players in the Kerberos5 arena are recognized (MIT, Heimdal, CS and SEAM).
However, I'm confused as to why this exists?
Isn't SASL supposed to handle GSS-API as one of it's mechanisms? Why do I need to build GSS-API directly into Cyrus IMAP? What do I gain by that? Is there a separate Non-SASL, GSS-API authentication method for IMAP?
While we're at it, what do MS clients on a machine within Active Directory Service (Kerberos5) use for authentication?
Nix.
