[Bug 1987992] Re: autofs: Missing support of SCRAM for SASL binds

[rdratlos]

Dear Bryce and Sergio,
sorry for my late reply. In general, supported SASL bind mechanisms are transparent for autofs. But there is one line of code that harms this principle. I'll add a first patch later. Firstly, I would like to provide a reproduction of the bug/feature request.
Kind regards
Thomas

Title:
  autofs: Missing support of SCRAM for SASL binds

Status in autofs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Most directory services now support the more secure Salted Challenge
  Response Authentication Mechanismis (SCRAM) for SASL binding (RFC 5802).
  But automount user cannot request use of SCRAM, as automount does not
  read user and password credentials for SCRAM mechanisms.

  For sys admins that do not want to implement Kerberos based
  authentication to their directory service using GSSAPI need to rely on
  DIGEST-MD5, which is regarded as insecure.
