Hi !

My OpenLDAP server is configured to accept SASL EXTERNAL
authentication with client certificate. It works with ldapsearch from
openldap project. (I needed to build with OpenSSL because SASL
EXTERNAL did not work with GNUTLS)
I did not succeed to bind to my server with Mozilla LDAP C SDK,
neither with a patched Thunderbird (based on 2.0.23) nor with the
example program.

Do you know how to do SASL EXTERNAL authentication ? Is there a
specific LDAP server to try ?

Thanks,
Vincent
