If you're using the "ldap" MECHANISM, there are a bunch of configuration
variables that need to be put in /etc/saslauthd.conf. By default there
is no documentation for these values installed in the package, so one has
to go online and search for the possible values.

The risk of trying to find one online is that it may no correspond to the
version that is installed, so some configuration items may be retired, and
newer ones could have been added.

It would be nice if the "LDAP_SASLAUTHD" file was included in the package
so that it's readily available:

https://cgit.cyrus.foundation/cyrus-sasl/tree/saslauthd/LDAP_SASLAUTHD

Hello,

Any news on this bug? I know that "cyrus-sasl2-doc" exists:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=cyrus-sasl2-doc

and the file/s are in there, but given that the -doc package is "only"
250KB, perhaps it's easier to just put everything into the -bin package
and have one less moving part to worry about.

Also, to update my original report, the file's URL in the new git repo is:


https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-sasl/blob/master/saslauthd/LDAP_SASLAUTHD

Regards,
David

Control: retitle -1 sasl2-bin: include LDAP_SASLAUTHD file in the main package, not -doc
Control: tags -1 wontfix

We will keep this as-is. The information is there and one can find it.
