Greetings,
 
As the doc said
"This function starts an authentication session. It takes a list of possible 
mechanisms (usually gotten from the server through a capability command) and 
chooses the "best" mechanism to try. Upon success clientout points at data to 
send to the server"
 
I am confused by "usually gotten from the server through a capability command". 
What does it exactly mean?
 
Let's take ldap client for an example, is there a real LDAP operation sent to 
server over the network to get the mechanisms list supported by server if this 
function is called? 
 
Thanks,
jacky
