This is the Cyrus-SASL library from Carnegie Mellon University. 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. The SASL port has an optional dependancy on the recently submitted security/librc4 port (see PR ports/14618) (US & CANADA only). As long as USA_RESIDENT=NO, this port will not use librc4, and will not be subject to export restrictions. Sendmail 8.10 and Cyrus-IMAPd 1.6.x depend on this library for their SASL implementation. Quirks: As long as librc4 is installed into the /usr/local tree, the Cyrus SASL configure script will be able to properly detect the RC4 library. Cyrus SASL can be installed into any ${PREFIX}. Cyrus SASL does come with a pwcheck program, but I was unable to get it to compile. The port currentlyn doesn't compile it. According to the release notice for Cyrus SASL v1.5.10: preliminary support for pwcheck has been added, it hasn't been tested and is probably not working. Fix: This port contains the following files: ./libsasl/Makefile ./libsasl/files/md5 ./libsasl/files/pwcheck.sh ./libsasl/pkg/COMMENT ./libsasl/pkg/DESCR ./libsasl/pkg/PLIST ./libsasl/patches/patch-aa ./libsasl/patches/patch-ab ./libsasl/patches/patch-ac ./libsasl/patches/patch-ad ./libsasl/patches/patch-ae Import the attached diff to the ports collection.
