Required

mech=DIGEST-MD5

Gives the SASL

-o “mech=DIGEST-MD5”

 

 

mechanism.

 

 

 

 

 

Required

authid=authid_value

Gives the ID used to

-o

 

 

authenticate to the server. “authid=dn:uid=msmith,ou=People,o=example.com"

 

 

authid_value can be

 

 

 

the following:

 

 

 

UID. For example,

 

 

 

 

msmith.

 

 

 

u: uid. For

 

 

 

 

example, u: msmith.

 

 

 

dn: dn_value. For

 

 

 

 

example, see the next

 

 

 

 

column.

 

 

 

 

 

Optional

secprop=value

The secprop attribute

-o “secprop=noplain,noanonymous,

 

 

sets the security

maxssf=128,minssf=128”

 

 

properties for the

 

 

 

connection. The secprop

 

 

 

value can be any of the

 

 

 

following:

 

 

 

None

 

 

 

noplain

susceptible to simple

 

 

 

 

passive attack.

 

 

 

noanonymous

 

 

 

 

Do not permit

 

 

 

 

mechanisms that

 

 

 

 

allow anonymous

 

 

 

 

access.

 

 

 

minssf

security strength; this

 

 

 

 

option needs a

 

 

 

 

numeric value

encryption. A value of

 

 

 

 

-1means integrity is

 

 

 

 

provided without

 

 

 

 

privacy.

 

 

 

maxssf

 

 

 

 

Require a maximum

 

 

 

 

security strength; this

 

option needs a numeric value specifying bits of encryption. A value of -1means integrity is provided without privacy. The maximum value is 128.
