Perfect.
Shall I provide an updated v3 series or should I wait for further comments?
Kind regards

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
