SASL is supposed to be utilized by existing protocols as a means of providing authentication. Its not an independent protocol in itself. In the case of ApacheDS, the LDAP protocol would be carrying SASL data as well. So actually SASL should be implemented by the ProtocolHandler rather than as a MINA filter. Regards, Vinod.
