- The
- <adm:user-friendly-name />
- is used to perform all processing related to SASL CRAM-MD5
- authentication.
+ The CRAM-MD5 SASL mechanism provides the ability for clients to
+ perform password-based authentication in a manner that does not
+ expose their password in the clear. Rather than including the
+ password in the bind request, the CRAM-MD5 mechanism uses a
+ two-step process in which the client needs only to prove that it
+ knows the password. The server sends randomly-generated data to
+ the client that is to be used in the process, which makes it
+ resistant to replay attacks. The one-way message digest
+ algorithm ensures that the original clear-text password is not
+ exposed. Note that the algorithm used by the CRAM-MD5 mechanism
+ requires that both the client and the server have access to the
+ clear-text password (or potentially a value that is derived from
+ the clear-text password). In order to authenticate to the server
+ using CRAM-MD5, the password for a user's account must be encoded
+ using a reversible password storage scheme that allows the server
+ to have access to the clear-text value.
