advice on security

[Bill Dossett <bd@emtex.com>]

Hi,

I am just reading on how to use cyrus sasl libraries
with openldap.  I had originally thought to use DIGEST-MD5,
but am a little worried about having the passwords in
plain text in openldap.  What mech do most people use/
people recommend ... I am storing all users in or orgs
info and the server is behind our firewall... which isn't
the tightest firewall in the world, but has kept hackers
at bay for quite a few years now anyway.

Thanks

Bill Dossett
