Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI - GSSAPI (Kerberosv5) Authentication class
use Authen::SASL qw(Perl); $sasl = Authen::SASL->new( mechanism => 'GSSAPI' ); $sasl->client_start( $service, $host );
This method implements the client part of the GSSAPI SASL algorithm.
With a valid Kerberos 5 credentials cache (aka TGT) it allows to connect to service@host given as the first two parameters to Authen::SASL's client_start() method.
Please note that this module does not currently implement a SASL security layer following authentication. Unless the connection is protected by other means, such as TLS, it will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. If security layers are required, then the Authen::SASL::Cyrus GSSAPI module should be used instead.
