Re: avoid modifying /etc/sasl2/slapd.conf

HI!

Some automated tests of my Python module check SASL bind with various mechs. For this to work I normally have to add those SASL mechs to /etc/sasl2/slapd.conf.

But this fails in the openSUSE build system with "permission denied".

Is there a possibility to override SASL mechs used by slapd with an env var or similar?

That depends on what the Cyrus SASL API supports. This is not an OpenLDAP question.

A grep thru the SASL source shows there is a SASL_CONF_PATH env var.
