Rafael H. Schloming updated PROTON-152: --------------------------------------- Priority: Major (was: Blocker) > SASL architecture does not support security layers > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PROTON-152 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-152 > Project: Qpid Proton > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: proton-c > Affects Versions: 0.2 > Reporter: Ted Ross > Labels: security > > SASL can optionally insert a security layer in the data stream for a > connection. The security layer encrypts/signs/decrypts the data stream. In > this way it is architecturally similar to SSL: It performs a handshake > in-the-clear and then inserts itself into the stream to provide link security. > Without this support, mechanisms like GSSAPI (Kerberos5) cannot be used. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
