As part of my work at Panareef I will be maintaining cyrus-sasl (and a copy of openldap linked against it) internally and would like to contribute the results back to the main cygwin distribution. If accepted into the distribution I would hope that the openldap maintainer would release a new version linked against cyrus-sasl to allow sasl authentication to openldap.
SASL stands for simple authentication and security layer and provides a pluggable system for authenticating and securing client/server connections. It needed some help to compile out of the box and didn't produce dlls (and the static libraries were useless, so I updated libtool/autoconf/automake and fixed a few makefile/configure bugs. I have successfully tested the resultant dlls with openldap. category: Utils requires: libsasl2 cygwin sdesc: "The Cyrus SASL API implementation." ldesc: "The Cyrus SASL library allows for client/server authentication in conformance with RFC 2222." http://www.users.on.net/~gpearce/cyrus-sasl-setup.hint http://www.users.on.net/~gpearce/cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-1.tar.bz2 http://www.users.on.net/~gpearce/cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-1-src.tar.bz2 category: Libs requires: libsasl2 libdb42 openssl cygwin external-source: cyrus-sasl sdesc: "The Cyrus SASL API implementation.
