Establishing a SASL connection on macOS

[harshasrisri]

Hi,

It's okay if this question is out of scope of this crate and you close this issue. I'm hoping to understand working with SASL.

At the moment, I'm using simple_bind with username and password. This may not be relevant, but I am working on macOS and can get my AD info using klist and authenticate myself using kinit.

How do I use sasl_external_bind to achieve the same thing without username and password?

You can't, since sasl_external_bind() is specialised for the SASL EXTERNAL mechanism. For Kerberos and AD, you'd need GSSAPI, which is something I thought about, but don't plan to support soon.
