ok, then i have misunderstood PLAIN vs SIMPLE, it seems. i will back up
and explain what i am trying to do.
apache, dhcp and freeradius can all use ldap for various functionality.
they all use what i now believe to be SIMPLE auth, where they are using
"cn=user,dc=domain,dc=tld" as ldap usernames. these processes are using
ldap for authentication, whereas i have only kerberos authentication
setup in my environment (and ldap authorization). my hope was that sasl
could allow me to push the ldap authN request through to kerberos, and
in essence proxy the authentication.
