sasl

My understanding is that SSL combines an encryption algorithm (like AES, DES, etc.) with a key exchange method (like Diffier-Hellman) to provide secure encryption and identification services between two endpoints on an un-secure network (like the Internet). My understanding is that SASL is an MD5/Kerberos protocol that pretty much does the same thing. So my question: what are the pros/cons to choosing both and what scenarios make either more preferable? Basically, I'm looking for some guidelines to follow when choosing SSL or to go with SASL instead. Thanks in advance! Bruno It's quite

Kafka can be configured to use several authentication mechanisms: plaintext username/password, Kerberos or SSL. The first 2 use SASL, where there is a JAAS config file required. For the plain text auth method, the config looks like (taken from the documentation ): KafkaServer { org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="admin" password="admin-secret" user_admin="admin-secret" user_alice="alice-secret"; }; I want to authenticate if possible using LDAP. My question is this: if I replace the PlainLoginModule with a class that implements LoginModule and place this

I am trying to install a Python client driver for HiveServer2: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Setting+Up+HiveServer2#SettingUpHiveServer2-PythonClientDriver Installations says that: "A Python client driver for HiveServer2 is available at https://github.com/BradRuderman/pyhs2 It includes all the required packages such as SASL and Thrift wrappers ". Yet, running pip install pyhs2 fails on SASL compilation (see below). I have Hadoop 2.2.0 installed and working on localhost. Please help, to install Python client. [root@localhost /]# pip install pyhs2 Requirement already satisfied

Recently, I was able to get MD5 authentication working for XMPP streams in Swift IOS following the instructions on the following two websites (I used the CC-MD5 function of Apple's CommonCrypto C library for the actual hashing): http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/SASLandDIGEST-MD5 http://www.deusty.com/2007/09/example-please.html I'm searching for a similar explanation for how to get other hashed SASL authentication schemes working, especially SCRAM-SHA1. I have found the official RFC5802 document but I'm having a lot of trouble understanding it (it is not specific to XMPP either). I would appreciate a

I followed the step described in the link below to setup my mac to send out email. http://www.anujgakhar.com/2011/12/09/using-macosx-lion-command-line-mail-with-gmail-as-smtp/ It was working fine on my Mac OS X 10.9. But after I upgraded to OS X 10.10. The mail.log showed the following error. What is the problem?

Does .NET support SMTP authentication via OAuth protocol? Basically, I would like to be able to send emails on users' behalves using OAuth access tokens. However, I couldn't find a support for this in the .NET framework. Google provides some samples for this in other environments but not .NET. System.Net.Mail does not support OAuth or OAuth2. However, you can use MailKit 's (note: only supports OAuth2) SmtpClient to send messages as long as you have the user's OAuth access token (MailKit does not have code that will fetch the OAuth token, but it can use it if you have it). The first thing you
