Re: {Kerberos} Support in openldap

[john d <john_dav_id@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
  So my understanding is with {SASL}, users can bind
to ldap server through simple bind(not SASL bind) by
providing the password, which will be validated by the
"saslauthd". Is this correct? How is the communication
happening between slapd and saslauthd? Is it through
IPC?

Thanks,
John.
