[stc_mis]

i use SMD5 as LDAP authentication mechanism,
what value should i set in   ldap-authentication-context.xml ?

that is what value should i give in the following section

<!– The authentication mechanism to use      –>
                <!– Some sasl authentication mechanisms may require a realm to be set –>

                <!–                java.naming.security.sasl.realm –>
                <!– The available options will depend on your LDAP provider –>
                <entry key="java.naming.security.authentication">
                    <value>simple</value>
                </entry>

Hi

I have had a quick look and the answer is I am not sure.

If your LDAP/SASL server supports this it comes down to does the default Java SASL implemenation support it. If not then you need a Java side SASL implementation that does support it. At that point it is whatever key the two implementations use. (A quick check does not show anything official)

Sorry not to be more help.
