Re: SASL interoperability fix (ITS#2994)



FWIW Cyrus SASL returns a zero-length string, not NULL, on the last
leg of a GSS-API authentication.

If we are to respect the difference between the two, shouldn't slapd
only return serverSaslCreds if the SASL library returns NULL?

I tested some alternative server implementations of the GSSAPI
SASL mechanism:

- Active Directory returns serverSaslCreds with length zero

- PADL GSS-SASL doesn't return serverSaslCreds (as far as I can
  tell from the code, I didn't actually look at a packet trace)

Did this ever come up in the working group?

We should find out what Sun DS 5.2 does for GSSAPI...
