Windows does have a SASL API. It's layered on top of the SSPI, and

Are there any apps out there that use this at all? As far as I can
tell, SSPI
itself is only used by a handful of applications. The SASL api
seems to be
quite new, and used on server platforms only.
No fair, I was asking you that!! ;-)
Can you even tell from the doc's if it's a client or server API? As
to the SSPI, I thought that IE/IIS use it.
Anybody got any information or examples or pointers at all on using
the Windows API? I don't find anything google'ing for the routine
names, except people as confused as we are.
If you can point me at a Windows app using this, I'll look at
implementing
this API in Wine. I'll be able to tell you a lot about it afterwards.
Cheers,

Have you seen any email apps that use the API? That's the use I
would expect.
