Hi, all:
The following is from MozLDAP document
(http://www.mozilla.org/directory/csdk-docs/sasl.htm):
=========================================
Code Example 13-1 - Authenticating over SASL
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "ldap.h"
int
main( int argc, char **argv )
{
LDAP *ld;
LDAPMod mod0;
LDAPMod mod1;
LDAPMod *mods[ 3 ];
char *vals0[ 2 ];
char *vals1[ 2 ];
time_t now;
char buf[ 128 ];
struct berval cred;
struct berval *servcred;
int version;
/* get a handle to an LDAP connection */
......
/* Set the LDAP protocol version supported by the client
to 3. (By default, this is set to 2. SASL authentication
is part of version 3 of the LDAP protocol.) */
......
/* authenticate */
cred.bv_val = "magic";
cred.bv_len = sizeof( "magic" ) - 1;
if ( ldap_sasl_bind_s( ld, "uid=bjensen,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com", \
"babsmechanism", &cred, NULL, NULL, &servcred ) != LDAP_SUCCESS ) {
ldap_perror( ld, "ldap_sasl_bind_s" );
return( 1 );
}
......
}
=========================================
My questions are:
1. The variable "cred" is set to "magic" in this example. What should it be in
the real world? The user to be authenticated is already provided through the
second parameter. So what is this "cred" for? Can I leave it as "magic", just
like what is used in the example?
2. If I want to use GSSAPI to bind to the server, is the 3rd parameter to be
passed as "GSSAPI"?
Thanks,
Xu Qiang
