SASL in Rust

rsasl is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and Security Layer — SASL.

Currently it uses gsasl-sys which are bindings to GNU gsasl, that however may change in the future.

Since it links to gsasl rsasl can provide a large number of mechanisms:

• EXTERNAL
• ANONYMOUS
• PLAIN
• LOGIN
• CRAM-MD5
• DIGEST-MD5
• SCRAM-SHA-1
• NTLM
• SECURID
• GSSAPI
• GS2-KRB5
• SAML20
• OPENID20
• KERBEROS_V5

Alternatives

Please see sasl-rs for a pure Rust SASL implementation. It provides less Mechanisms but does not need heavy use of unsafe like rsasl does and is easier to use while harder to misuse.
