[PATCH] Support for SASL authentication in imap4d


From: Simon Josefsson
Subject: [PATCH] Support for SASL authentication in imap4d
Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2002 02:31:23 +0200
User-agent: Gnus/5.090008 (Oort Gnus v0.08) Emacs/21.3.50 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)

This patch makes the imap4d in mailutils support SASL mechanisms such
as ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 by using Libgsasl
(<URL:http://josefsson.org/libgsasl/>).  GSSAPI is supported via
libgsasl too, but mailutils seem to already support it.

The CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms need access to raw passwords,
which the mu_*() framework doesn't seem to support, so I added a
command line parameter --cram-md5-pwd-file to imap4d to specify a MD5
password file (the file follows the format specified by the University
of Washington imapd).  The ANONYMOUS mechanism is enabled if you
supply a parameter --anonymous-user indicating the real username to
login to for anonymous users.
