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
