Description Andreas Turriff 2012-03-27 16:15:22 UTC
After upgrading to cyrus-sasl 2.1.25 and rebuilding my SASL clients, I 
am seeing strange behavior when attempting to set maxssf=0 while using 
GSSAPI (the use case is authenticating against Windows 2008 R2 active 
directory with LDAP). Output from ldapsearch attached. This used to work 
with version 2.1.23.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build LDAP with cyrus-sasl support
2. Try to authenticate an LDAP client connection to a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller with GSSAPI and MAXSSF=0
Actual Results:  
The GSSAPI module throws an error.

Expected Results:  
I expected authentication to work.

Dan White pointed me at a bugzilla entry with a patch for the problem; I believe this should be applied to Gentoo's build of cyrus-sasl.

Comment 1 Andreas Turriff 2012-03-27 16:16:22 UTC
Having tried this with the patch applied, this is now working for me.
Comment 2 Alex Orange 2014-07-24 03:27:44 UTC
I'm having the same issue with pidgin as the cyrus-sasl user. I'm attaching a patch that fixed it for me. Redhat has included this patch apparently: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984079

Comment 4 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2018-10-09 18:18:01 UTC
Confirmed by Alex.

What is the status now? We have 
 2.1.26-r9 ~2.1.26-r10 ~2.1.26-r11
in the tree. Is it fixed?

    dev-libs/cyrus-sasl: add 2.1.28
    
    Java bindings dropped upstream. Fair amount of autotools changed upstream
    too so hopefully those issues are fixed.
