NAME
pluginviewer - list loadable SASL plugins and their properties
SYNOPSIS
pluginviewer [-a] [-s] [-c] [-b min=N,max=N] [-e ssf=N,id=ID]
[-m MECHS] [-x AUXPROP_MECH] [-f FLAGS] [-p PATH]
DESCRIPTION
pluginviewer can be used by a server administrator to troubleshoot SASL
installations. The utility can list loadable (properly configured)
client and server side plugins, as well as auxprop plugins.
OPTIONS
-a List auxprop plugins.
-s List server authentication (SASL) plugins.
-c List client authentication (SASL) plugins.
-b min=N1,max=N2
List client authentication (SASL) plugins. Strength of the SASL
security layer in bits. min=N1 specifies the minumum strength to
use (1 => integrity protection). max=N2 specifies the maximum
strength to use. Only SASL mechanisms which support security
layer with strength M such that N1 <= M <= N2 will be shown.
-e ssf=N,id=ID
Assume that an external security layer (e.g. TLS) with N-bit
strength is installed. The ID is the authentication identity
used by the external security layer.
-m MECHS
Limit listed SASL plugins to the ones included in the MECHS
(space separated) list.
-x AUXPROP_MECHS
Limit listed auxprop plugins to the one listed in the AUX-
PROP_MECHS (space separated) list.
-f FLAGS
Set security flags. FLAGS is a comma separated list of one or
more of the following security flags: noplain (SASL mechanism
doesn´t send password in the clear during authentication), noac-
tive (require protection from active attacks), nodict (require
mechanisms which are secure against passive dictionary attacks),
forwardsec (require forward secrecy), passcred (require mecha-
nisms that can delegate client credentials), maximum (require
all security flags).
-p PATH
Specifies a colon-separated search path for plugins.
