# DJabberd::SASL::AuthenSASL(3pm)

SASL Negotiation using Authen::SASL

## NAME

DJabberd::SASL::AuthenSASL - SASL Negotiation using Authen::SASL

## DESCRIPTION

This plugin provides straightforward support for SASL negotiations inside DJabberd using Authen::SASL (Authen::SASL::Perl, for now). It compliments the now deprecated *iq-auth* authentication (XEP-0078).

The recommended usage is to use STARTTLS and SASL-PLAIN.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    <VHost yann.cyberion.net>
        <Plugin DJabberd::SASL::AuthenSASL>
            Optional   yes
            Mechanisms PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5
        </Plugin>
    </VHost>
```

## DESCRIPTION

Only PLAIN LOGIN and DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms are supported for now (same than in Authen::SASL. DIGEST-MD5 only supports `"auth"` qop (quality of protection), so it's strongly advised to throw TLS into the mix, and not  solely rely on DIGEST-MD5 (as opposed to `"auth-int"` and `"auth-conf"`).
