[Bug 1987992] Re: autofs: Missing support of SCRAM for SASL binds

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi rdratlos, thanks for keeping an eye on autofs.

Is this something that can be enabled in the Ubuntu packaging for
autofs, or is it more a feature that'd need implemented in autofs
itself?  If the latter, would this be better to report upstream?  Or do
you already have thoughts on a fix for it?

Title:
  autofs: Missing support of SCRAM for SASL binds

Status in autofs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Most directory services now support the more secure Salted Challenge
  Response Authentication Mechanismis (SCRAM) for SASL binding (RFC 5802).
  But automount user cannot request use of SCRAM, as automount does not
  read user and password credentials for SCRAM mechanisms.

  For sys admins that do not want to implement Kerberos based
  authentication to their directory service using GSSAPI need to rely on
  DIGEST-MD5, which is regarded as insecure.
