How does Openldap work with Cyrus SASL and MIT Kerberos V

["Le Trung Kien" <aloneattack@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I have built up one server with Openldap, Cyrus SASL, MIT Kerberos V.
Now, my server can authenticate users.
In "Authentication Configuration", I set option information for LDAP server
and Kerberos server. And I could login with accounts (Kerberos principals)
which are created through Kerberos. And user information can be obtained
from LDAP server.
But it's seem to be only Openldap and Kerberos work with together.
I can't figure out what the SASL role is in this strategy. And how it effects
on my system.
When I attempt setup phpldapadmin, I must configure SASL option, but I
don't know how SASL works with LDAP in this strategy ?
