sasl-auxprop (and sasl/slapd.conf)

[Simone Piccardi <piccardi@truelite.it>]

I'm trying to understand which values I can use for the sasl-auxprop 
directives and how to configure (if possible) sasl/slapd.conf.

I was trying to use the users created with slappasswd2 -c (as written in 
the Administration guide) but no sasldb file was open by the server (I 
straced out a full session). I tried to put an explicit configuration in 
sasl/slapd.conf, and stracing the server I saw it was open and read, but 
the configuration inside is just ignored.

Reading the manpage I found it says that sasl-auxprops "Specify which 
auxprop plugins to use for authentication lookups." and that the default 
is use the slapd internal support.

But I did not define this one, and sasl/slapd.conf still seems to be 
ignored. And no possible values for the available plugins to use as 
sasl-auxprops parameter are listed.

I could get DIGEST-MD5 authentication working putting the password 
inside the server (userPassword in CLEARTEXT), so it seems that the 
default is used anyway. But I'd like to have it working using using 
sasldb or configuring sasl/slapd.conf to use saslauthd.

Regards
Simone
