NAME
       sasl.conf - SASL Configuration file for nnrpd.

DESCRIPTION
       The file sasl.conf in pathetc specifies Simple Authentication and Secu‐
       rity Layer (SASL), defined in RFC 2222, for nnrpd.  Now nnrpd imple‐
       ments only Security Layer support, which is an extension of RFC 2595.
       This means you can get SSL or TLS encrypted NNRP between your server
       and newsreaders. It requires OpenSSL 0.9.3 or newer from
       http://www.openssl.org/; it has been tested with versions 0.9.4 and
       0.9.5.

INSTALLATION
       To use SSL, a certificate and private key are needed that you can cre‐
       ate using the openssl binary.  Make certain that each keys are owned by
       your news user, news group, and are mode 0640 or 0660.

       EXAMPLE

	  openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /usr/local/news/lib/cert.pem\
	   -days 366 -keyout /usr/local/news/lib/cert.pem
	  chown news:news /usr/local/news/lib/cert.pem
	  chmod 640 /usr/local/news/lib/cert.pem

       You also can make the keys as the root user with "make cert".

CONFIGURATION
       Comments begin with a number  sign  ("#")  and  continue through the
       end of the line.	 Blank lines and comments are ignored.	All other
       lines specify parameters, and should be of the form

	   <option>: <value>

       where <option> is the name of the configuration option being set and
       <value> is the value that the configuration option is being set to.

       Blank lines and lines beginning with ("#") are ignored.	For boolean
       options, the values  "yes",  "on",  "t", and  1 turn the option on; the
       values "no", "off", "f", and 0 turn the option off.

       tls_cert_file
	   The path to a file containing the server's certificate.

       tls_key_file
	   The path to a file containing the server's private key.

       tls_ca_path
	   The path to a directory containing the CA's certificate.
