Library
~~~~~~~
) Better/FASTER random numbers (init time is pretty miserable)
) Test suite needs work
) configure stuff: static libs, etc.
) Use libltdl---probably much better portability
thread problems? stdio problems?
) parse the .la file instead of assuming we load the ".so" file
) better support for including missing routines
) check return settings (ssf, etc.) on auth failure
) Make real global objects in cram, digest
) when making callbacks, the returned strings are sometimes only valid
until the next time that callback is made. (i believe the config
callback is an example of this.)
) add SASL_SEC_MUTUAL_AUTHENTICATION
Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
) so much to do here
) how to write an application using sasl (programmer's guide)
) man pages (check spelling) (do saslpasswd, sasldblistusers etc)
) how to configure sasl (sysadmin guide)
) update INSTALL to have clearer step-by-step instructions
Mechs to write
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
) PASSDSS-3DES-1 (draft-newman-sasl-passdss-01.txt)
) OTP
Digest-MD5
~~~~~~~~~~
) Checking wacko cases or even not so wacko cases
) Testing
) correct handling of SASL_SET_CREATE
) allow sending multiple realms from server to client
) reauth?
) eliminate last client step. Applications will need to be rewritten.
Kerberos_V4
~~~~~~~~~~~
) client-side should set realm
) is prompt_need callback set default value
GSSAPI
~~~~~~
) Allow specification of alternate keytab file?
Plain
~~~~~
Cram-MD5
~~~~~~~~
) needs snprintf support
) correct handling of SASL_SET_CREATE
Database stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
) Flat text file?
) transactions?
) version the database?
) atomic updates of passwords (we can crash and leave the user with
different passwords for different mechanisms)
ABI
~~~
) Consider IRIX ABI issues for plugins
- /usr/lib32/sasl?
- /usr/lib/sasl/{ABI}?
) Standardize the plugin ABI
