NAME
       basic_sasl_auth	-  Basic  Authentication  using SASL (specifically the
       cyrus-sasl authentication method)

       Version 1.0

SYNOPSIS
       basic_sasl_auth

DESCRIPTION
       basic_sasl_auth is an installed binary helper for Squid. SASL  is  con‐
       figurable  (somewhat  like  PAM).   Each service authenticating against
       SASL identifies itself with an application name.	 Each application  can
       be configured independently by the SASL administrator.

CONFIGURATION
       To    configure	  the	 authentication	   method    used   the	  file
       basic_sasl_auth.conf can be placed in the appropriate location, usually
       /usr/lib/sasl.

       The authentication database is defined by the pwcheck_method parameter.
       Only the PLAIN authentication mechanism is used.

       Examples: pwcheck_method:sasldb use sasldb - the	 default  if  no  conf
       file is installed.  pwcheck_method:pam
	- use PAM authentication database pwcheck_method:passwd
	- use traditional /etc/passwd pwcheck_method:shadow
	- use slightly less traditional /etc/shadow

       Others  methods	may  be	 supported by your cyrus-sasl implementation -
       consult your cyrus-sasl documentation for information.

       Typically the authentication database ( /etc/sasldb , /etc/shadow , PAM
       )  can  not  be accessed by a normal user. You should use setuid/setgid
       and an appropriate user/group on the executable to allow the  authenti‐
       cator to access the appropriate password database. If the access to the
       database is not permitted then the authenticator	 will  typically  fail
       with "-1, generic error".

	      chown root.mail basic_sasl_auth
	      chmod ug+s basic_sasl_auth

       If  the	application name basic_sasl_auth will also be used for the PAM
       service name if pwcheck_method:pam is chosen. And example PAM  configu‐
       ration file basic_sasl_auth.pam is also included.
