GNU Simple Authentication and Security Layer - Summary
This project is part of the GNU Project.
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 CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA-1, LOGIN, and NTLM 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.
