Issue ID: 9336 Summary: Add native support for SASL/EXTERNAL to the client tools Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: client tools Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: quanah@openldap.org Target Milestone: ---
While slapd has built in support for SASL/EXTERNAL if built without Cyrus SASL support, the client tools lack this support. This means you end up in a scenario where you can only use SASL/EXTERNAL on the client side if cyrus-sasl is linked in, but the server can function without it.
This lack of support on the client side also prevents validation of the server side SASL/EXTERNAL support in the test suite, since we can't use ldapwhoami, etc, to confirm SASL/EXTERNAL is functioning correctly.
