SASL with OpenLDAP on Solaris 7 problem

[Tim Murphy <tmurphy@micromuse.com>]

Hi,

I'm sending this message in case anyone else has been having trouble 
getting SASL to work for OpenLDAP 2.0.18  (I also tried 2.0.15) on 
Solaris 7.

The information I have so far is that I have been trying to can compile 
and configure it to work for ages and and was stuck on Solaris with a 
problem where OpenLDAP wouldn't "pick up" any mechanisms.  That is to 
say that a query like the following would return no results:

	ldapsearch -h localhost -p 389 -x -b "" -s base -LLL supportedSASLMechanisms

and this would come back with something like:

		dn:

I have spent a long time over this and there is no doubt that for a 
complete beginner it's a bit tough to understand everything well enough 
to be successful but the worst thing was that in spite of all my efforts 
I couldn't get it to work on Solaris.  I tried compiling everything on 
Linux today and it worked like a charm using the same slapd 
configuration file.

I would love to know if anyone else has had this problem  or has got 
SASL working with OpenLDAP on Solaris.  If you haven't then at least you 
know you have company ;-)

Regards,

Tim
