Hi,

Is there any workaround way by which we will be able to do a DIGEST-MD5 - SASL LDAP bind asynchronously?

Howard: Is there a plan to have an asynchronous ldap_sasl_interactive_bind in the near future? Any time lines for that?

No future plan. It's in CVS as of October 13, so it's already in the past.

Thanks, Shankar

    I remember many years ago this wasn't the case, and I had to thread the
    connect phase, but the ChangeLog suggests that things have changed
    considerably.


Connect has been asynch for years, though an option to configure the
connect timeout is a more recent addition.

The only significant thing left that I can think of that's still only
synchronous is ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s(), and I have some plans to
fix that.
