Title : Distributed SASL authentication in LDAP
Author(s) : A. Melnikov, K. Zeilenga
Filename : draft-melnikov-ldap-distr-auth-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2004-7-13
This document was prompted by a desire to allow deployments of
distributed SASL implementations, so that all authentication can be
performed in a one central place. It tries to fulfill the following
requirements:
1) The SASL framework is client/server authentication, but it doesn't
preclude either the client or the server implementations from being
distributed.
2) It might be also desirable to proxy an authentication exchange
whether it was initiated over LDAP or another SASL-supporting
protocol.
This document defines a Distributed Authentication LDAP extended
operation, that enables applications (including LDAP proxies and
gateways) that authenticate using SASL, to use LDAP for performing
authentication, by forwarding the SASL authentication requests to an
LDAP server.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
