But, as I said, it worked before the security option was added. It worked because DIGEST-MD5 was the default. So why isn't it the default now? Now that you have pointed it out, I guess that the addition of the 'security' option prevented SASL from searching dn="" for the types of authentications supported. You would think that would do it - certainly I did. But you would be wrong. Currently it doesn't, and that is what this ITS is about. The patch I supplied with the initial bug report changes things so it does work.
