[ApacheDS][SASL] Where did this SIMPLE mechanism come from?
Hey guys,
Someone brought it to my attention that we have a 'SIMPLE' SASL mechanism.
Furthermore it is being used to enable and disable simple binds. Just
curious who rigged it up that way and why?
Was the SIMPLE mechanism intended to be "PLAIN" sasl auth?
Thanks,
Alex

No doubt.

After having checked the code, it's really dubious. We have to fix it.

There is no SIMPLE mechanism in SASL. There's PLAIN though which is
effectively the same.

Strange ... May be an abusive use of "SIMPLE". Or is it connected to
string authent/simple authent ?

I don't think so. I'm just in the middle of the Bind code, let me check
this.
