Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI(3)        User Contributed Perl Documentation       Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI(3)



NAME
       Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI - GSSAPI (Kerberosv5) Authentication class

SYNOPSIS
         use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

         $sasl = Authen::SASL->new( mechanism => 'GSSAPI' );

         $sasl->client_start( $service, $host );

DESCRIPTION
       This method implements the client part of the GSSAPI SASL algorithm.

       With a valid Kerberos 5 credentials cache (aka TGT) it allows to connect to service@host given as the
       first two parameters to Authen::SASL's client_start() method.

       Please note that this module does not currently implement a SASL security layer following
       authentication. Unless the connection is protected by other means, such as TLS, it will be vulnerable
       to man-in-the-middle attacks. If security layers are required, then the Authen::SASL::Cyrus GSSAPI
       module should be used instead.
