# The security/cyrus-sasl2 port

## cyrus-sasl-2.1.25p3 – RFC 2222 SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)

## Description

    The Cyrus SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) Library v2.

    SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for
    adding authentication support to connection-based protocols. To use
    SASL, a protocol includes a command for identifying and authenticating a
    user to a server and for optionally negotiating protection of subsequent
    protocol interactions. If its use is negotiated, a security layer is
    inserted between the protocol and the connection.

    Available flavors:
    	db4 - use Berkeley DB v4 for SASLDB (instead of ndbm)
    	ldap - enable LDAPDB auxprop plugin and LDAP enabled saslauthd
    	mysql pgsql sqlite3 - enable SQL auxprop plugin (choose one)
