[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Security on JBoss] - Re: SASL Authentication

[mikezzz]

Hi,

I think I may have caused a little confusion with this patch, I don't think I explained it particularly well.

This patch doesn't enable JBoss connect to an external SASL enabled server.  It is designed to make JBoss the SASL authentication provider, so where the username/password pairs come from doesn't really matter.  In other words, it allows SASL enabled clients (e.g. IMAP mail clients) to authenticate against a JBoss server.

Mike.
