It is GSSAPI. The scenario is, the user logs in (against a Kerberos server), then LDAP query will be initiated to find the user's detail in the LDAP server. It is required that the binding now be in SASL mode, and a ticket be acquired from Kerberos authentication via GSSAPI dynamic library, to be used in binding to the LDAP server.

I know something about LDAP but it is almost completely dark for me on SASL + GSSAPI. Therefore, my previous mail.

Thank you, Mike.
