-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add SASL GSSAPI (Kerberos V5) authentication mechanism
                 Key: JAMES-4215
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4215
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: master
            Reporter: Tran Hong Quan


For a customer use case, we plan to extend Apache James SASL support with the GSSAPI mechanism, enabling Kerberos-based authentication, cf https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc4752.

This would integrate with James's existing SASL authentication infrastructure and be available to applicable protocols.

Is this a topic that the James community would be interested in?

We would like to confirm whether the James community is interested in receiving this contribution. Without community interest or feedback, we may instead implement and maintain it in TMail Backend.
