    I'm using saslauthd to auth with active directory,what config works for me
    is
    ldap_servers: ldap://domain.com:3268/
    ldap_filter: (sAMAccountName=%u)
    ldap_bind_dn:
    ldap_bind_pw: simpleclearpassword

    I think the clear password transport in network is dangerous...
    How can I use sasl with it?
    thx in advance!

    If you know of a really effective two way hash, please submit code.

    Otherwise you can use sasl and you will not need to specify the password
    in saslauthd.conf:

    ldap_use_sasl: yes
    ldap_server: ldap:///
    ldap_mech: DIGEST-MD5
