Dear Thomas,

thank you for reviewing the patch. My understanding of your comment is to align the notation and use authentication "type" or "method". Is this correct?

Yes, I thought it’s the same, and suggested it for consistency.

In general, IANA and IETF define SASL authentication mechanisms. For LDAP people talk about different types LDAP authentication calls: simple bind, SASL bind, mixed bind type. In autofs LDAP configuration users can specify the SASL mechanism using attribute authtype and the authentication bind call type using parameter authrequired.

I'm not sure how to proceed. Maybe we should use:
- "Simple authentication requires ..."
- "%s authentication requires ..." (e. g. SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication requires ...)
- "SASL authentication mechanism auto-selection requires ..."

What do you think?

Good idea to avoid it altogether.


Kind regards,

Paul
