NAME

     pluginviewer - list loadable SASL plugins and their  proper-
     ties

SYNOPSIS

     pluginviewer   [-a]   [-s]    [-c]    [-b min=N,max=N]    [-
     e ssf=N,id=ID]  [-m MECHS]  [-x AUXPROP_MECH]  [-f FLAGS] [-
     p PATH]

DESCRIPTION

     pluginviewer can be used by a server administrator to troub-
     leshoot  SASL  installations.  The utility can list loadable
     (properly configured) client and  server  side  plugins,  as
     well as auxprop plugins.

OPTIONS

     -a   List auxprop plugins.

     -s   List server authentication (SASL) plugins.

     -c   List client authentication (SASL) plugins.

     -b min=N1,max=N2
          List client authentication (SASL) plugins.  Strength of
          the  SASL  security layer in bits. min=N1 specifies the
          minumum strength to use (1  =>  integrity  protection).
          max=N2  specifies  the  maximum  strength to use.  Only
          SASL  mechanisms  which  support  security  layer  with
          strength M such that N1 <= M <= N2 will be shown.

     -e ssf=N,id=ID
          Assume that an external security layer (e.g. TLS)  with
          N-bit strength is installed.  The ID is the authentica-
          tion identity used by the external security layer.

     -m MECHS
          Limit listed SASL plugins to the ones included  in  the
          MECHS (space separated) list.

     -x AUXPROP_MECHS
          Limit listed auxprop plugins to the one listed  in  the
          AUXPROP_MECHS (space separated) list.

     -f FLAGS
          Set security flags. FLAGS is a comma separated list  of
          one  or  more of the following security flags:  noplain
          (SASL mechanism doesn't send password in the clear dur-
          ing  authentication), noactive (require protection from
          active attacks), nodict (require mechanisms  which  are
          secure  against passive dictionary attacks), forwardsec
          (require forward secrecy), passcred (require mechanisms
          that can delegate client credentials), maximum (require

     -p PATH
          Specifies a colon-separated search path for plugins.
