Greetings,
I'm working on getting OpenLDAP on FC3 to authenticate through cyrus- sasl using the PLAIN mechanism. The problem is that even though I have cyrus-sasl-plain installed LDAP doesn't list it as an available authentication mechanism. It also doesn't list LOGIN as an authentication mechanism. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?
# ldapsearch -x -H ldap:// -LLL -s "base" -b "" supportedSASLMechanisms dn: supportedSASLMechanisms: DIGEST-MD5 supportedSASLMechanisms: NTLM supportedSASLMechanisms: CRAM-MD5 supportedSASLMechanisms: GSSAPI
You probably want to look manual page for slapd.conf. Option that you'll be most interested in is "sasl-secprops". If not present, default is "noanonymous,noplain" (hence, PLAIN SASL mechanism will not be used). You may also want to check "security" option.
