secure auth newbie Q

[Krajcsovits Gyorgy <gyorgy.krajcsovits@wit.mht.bme.hu>]

  Hi!

 I've set up a Linux/OpenLDAP server and a Solaris 2.8/native
client following  Igor Brezak's advice (found in archives).
 However it doesn't use any secure authentication yet. I read
in the solaris man pages that I can use SASL cram_md5, for
secure authentication.

 I'd welcome some pointers about configuring the OpenLDAP server to
use SASL, and also whether it is possible to secure not only
the authentication but the data transfer too...

TIA, George Krajcsovits
