authmeth-17 notes

[Hallvard B Furuseth <h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no>]

Sorry to be so late...

>3.1.2. Client Certificate
>   If a client that has provided a suitable certificate subsequently
>   performs a Bind operation using the SASL EXTERNAL authentication
>   mechanism (section 5.2.1), information in the certificate may
>   be used by the server to identify and authenticate the client.

Why was "may subsequently be used" changed to "may be used" here?

3.1.3.1. Comparison of DNS Names
>   That is, the subject
>   *.example.com matches the server names a.example.com and
>   b.example.com but not the server name example.com.

This example lost one case since authmeth-16.  I suggest:

>   That is, the subject
>   *.example.com matches the server name a.example.com, but not
>   the server names example.com and b.a.example.com.

More of the TLS vs anonymous discussion follows.
