Re: Getting LDAP and SASL (digest-md5) to play nice

Rick Stevens writes:

I'm sure I'm not the only person having this issue, but I absolutely cannot seem to get SASL and LDAP to work. I want SASL to authenticate using the passwords in LDAP, but in the classic chicken-and-egg scenario, you can't talk to LDAP without having SASL working first.

Hmm, this could use a mention in the Admin Guide.

I haven't tried it myself, but: In addition to setting up slapd to use SASL, you must set up SASL to use LDAP. In Cyrus SASL, that is described in doc/install.html: Build with LDAP support (the circular dependency shows up here too), then use the LDAPDB auxprop plugin.
