<BODY>
<h1>Options for Cyrus SASL</h1>

<p>This document contains information on what options are used by the
Cyrus SASL library and bundled mechanisms.  The most commonly used
options (and those that are therefore most commonly misunderstood
are <b>pwcheck_method</b> and <b>auxprop_plugin</b>.  Please ensure
that you have configured these correctly if things don't seem to
be working right.  Additionally, <b>mech_list</b> can be an easy
way to limit what mechanisms a given application will use.</p>

<h2>Notes on SQL auxprop options</h2>

<p>The <tt>sql_insert</tt> and <tt>sql_update</tt> options are
optional and are only needed if you wish to allow the SASL library
(e.g., saslpasswd2) and plugins (e.g., OTP) to write properties to the
SQL server.  If used, both statements MUST be provided so that
properties can be added, changed and deleted.
<font color=red>NOTE: The columns for writable properites MUST accept NULL values.</font>

<p>The SQL statements provided in the <tt>sql_select</tt>,
<tt>sql_insert</tt> and <tt>sql_update</tt> options can contain
arguments which will be substituted with the appropriate values.  The
valid arguments are:

<DL compact>
<DT><tt>%u</tt> <DD>Username whose properties are being fetched/stored.

<DT><tt>%p</tt> <DD>Name of the property being fetched/stored.  This could
     technically be anything, but SASL authentication will try
     userPassword and cmusaslsecretMECHNAME (where MECHNAME is the
     name of a SASL mechanism).

<DT><tt>%r</tt> <DD>Realm to which the user belongs.  This could be the
     kerberos realm, the FQDN of the computer the SASL application is
     running on or whatever is after the @ on a username.  (read the
     realm documentation).

<DT><tt>%v</tt> <DD>Value of the property being stored (INSERT or
     UPDATE only!). This could technically be anything depending on
     the property itself, but is generally a userPassword.
</DL>

<font color=red>NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the entire SQL
statement, but each individual %u, %r and %v argument MUST be
quoted.</font>

<h3>Examples:</h3>

<pre>
     <tt>sql_select: SELECT %p FROM user_table WHERE username = '%u' and realm = '%r'</tt>
</pre>

would send the following statement to SQL for user "bovik" and
     the default realm for the machine "madoka.surf.org.uk":

<pre>
     <tt>SELECT userPassword FROM user_table WHERE username = 'bovik' and
     realm = 'madoka.surf.org.uk';</tt>

</pre>

<pre>
     <tt>sql_insert: INSERT INTO user_table (username, realm, %p) VALUES ('%u', '%r', '%v')</tt>

</pre>

would generate the following statement to SQL for user "bovik" in
   realm "madoka.surf.org.uk" with userPassword "wert":

<pre>
     <tt>INSERT INTO user_table (username, realm, userPassword) VALUES
     ('bovik', 'madoka.surf.org.uk', 'wert');</tt>

</pre>

<p>Note that all substitutions do not have to be used. For instance,
<pre>
     <tt>SELECT password FROM auth WHERE username = '%u'</tt>
</pre>
is a valid value for <tt>sql_select</tt>.

<h2>Notes on LDAPDB plugin options</h2>

<p>Unlike other LDAP-enabled plugins for other services that are common
on the web, this plugin does not require you to configure DN search
patterns to map usernames to LDAP DNs. This plugin requires SASL name
mapping to be configured on the target slapd. This approach keeps the
LDAP-specific configuration details in one place, the slapd.conf, and
makes the configuration of remote services much simpler.</p>

<p>This plugin is not for use with slapd itself. When OpenLDAP is
built with SASL support, slapd uses its own internal auxprop and
canonuser module.
By default, without configuring anything else, slapd will fail to load
the ldapdb module when it's present. This is as it should be. If you
don't like the "auxpropfunc: error -7" message that is sent to syslog
by slapd, you can stop it by creating /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf with:

<pre>auxprop_plugin: slapd</pre>

which will force the SASL library to ignore all other auxprop modules.</p>

<h3>Examples:</h3>

<pre>
ldapdb_uri: ldap://ldap.example.com
ldapdb_id: root
ldapdb_pw: secret
ldapdb_mech: DIGEST-MD5
ldapdb_canon_attr: uid
</pre>

<p>The LDAP server must be configured to map the SASL authcId "root" into a DN
that has proxy authorization privileges to every account that is allowed to
login to this server. (See the OpenLDAP Admin Guide section 10 for
details.)</p>

<pre>
ldapdb_uri: ldapi://
ldapdb_mech: EXTERNAL
</pre>

<p>This configuration assumes an LDAP server is on the same server that is
using SASL and the underlying OS is *NIX based (ldapi:// requires UNIX domain
sockets).  This is fast and secure, and needs no username or password to be
stored.  The slapd.conf will need to map these usernames to LDAP DNs:

<pre>
sasl-regexp uidNumber=(.*)\\+gidNumber=(.*),cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
    ldap:///dc=example,dc=com??sub?(&(uidNumber=$1)(gidNumber=$2))
</pre>

<pre>
sasl-regexp uid=(.*),cn=external,cn=auth
    ldap:///dc=example,dc=com??sub?(uid=$1)
</pre>

</p>

<h2>Notes on sasldb with LMDB</h2>

<p>The OpenLDAP LMDB library is an extremely compact, extremely high performance
B+tree database. The code for it is available in the regular OpenLDAP source
distributions and it is distributed under the terms of the OpenLDAP Public License.</p>

<p>Full documentation, plus papers and presentations are available on
<a href="symas.com/lmdb/">the LMDB page</a>.</p>
