PLUGINVIEWER(8)


NAME

  pluginviewer - list loadable SASL plugins and their properties


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 troubleshoot 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 authentication 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 during 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 all security flags).

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