To use SASL, a protocol includes a command for identifying and +authenticating a user to a server and for optionally negotiating protection +of subsequent protocol interactions. If its use is negotiated, a security +layer is inserted between the protocol and the connection. + +This is the Cyrus SASL plugin that implements the LOGIN authentication +mechanism. It's recommended that it only be used if absolutely necessary +since it is not a secure authentication scheme. |
