address@hidden [Savannah-hackers] submission of GNU SASL - savannah.gnu.org

[Mathieu Roy]

Can someone confirm that the "GNU SASL" is a GNU project?

Nothing in maintainers on fencepost, nothing recently on the
mailing-lists.

Regards,

> Description:
> GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
> Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms.  SASL is
> used by network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP) to request authentication
> from clients, and in clients to authenticate against servers.
>
> GNU SASL contains of a library, a command line utility to access the
> library from shells and a manual.  The library includes support for
> the framework (with authentication functions and application data
> privacy and integrity functions) and at least partial support for the
> CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, SECURID, DIGEST-MD5,
> LOGIN, NTLM mechanisms.
>
> The library is easily ported because it does not do network
> communication by itself, but rather leaves it up to the calling
> application.  The library is flexible with regards to the
> authorization infrastructure used, as it utilizes callbacks into the
> application to decide whether a user is authorized or not.  GNU SASL
> has been ported to many Unix flavors.

> The project page of the library is available at:

> Other Software Required:
> libgcrypt, MIT Kerberos 5 GSSAPI library, libntlm

> Other Comments:
> This is a resubmission, last time it was rejected because of the name, but this
