Hi, I need to implement SASL in my email client. I downloaded Cyrus-SASL and installed it. When the client sends the "UserName" and "Password", my server needs to verify the "UserName" and "Password" and Authenticate it. The below are some of my doubts, Please clarify.
1) The "sasl2-sample-client" and "sasl2-sample-server" in the "bin" directories and the "sample-client" and "sample-server" in "sample" response are different. Where can I get the source code for "sasl2-sample-server"? 2) Once the "Username" and "Password" is passed from client to server, the server needs to verify the "UserName" and "Password" and authenticate the client. How to do this in server side? Does "sasl_checkpass" do this or can you suggest some other best way to achieve the above? CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME CODE SNIPPETS FOR THIS? 3) I tried testing "sample-client" and "sample-server" and I get the below response, how to solve this? *Server Terminal: * [root@localhost sample]# ./sample-server -p 8000 -s rcmd -m PLAIN Forcing use of mechanism PLAIN Sending list of 1 mechanism(s) S: UExBSU4= Waiting for client mechanism... *Client Terminal: * [root@localhost sample]# ./sample-client -s rcmd -p 8000 -m PLAIN -n 127.0.0.1 service=rcmd Waiting for mechanism list from server... S: UExBSU4*= Pasted server Response* recieved 5 byte message Forcing use of mechanism PLAIN Choosing best mechanism from: PLAIN lt-sample-client: SASL Other: No worthy mechs found error was SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found lt-sample-client: Starting SASL negotiation: no mechanism available Awaiting for your reply... Thanks, Mathew
