    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4215?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18096697#comment-18096697 ] 

Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-4215:
---------------------------------------

Hello [~QuanTH]

I'm obviously quite in favor of this.

But in a dedicate maven module eg `protocols/sasl-kerberos`, and likely loaded as a guice plugin...

Best regards,

Benoit

> 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.
