Is there an Apple library for SASL?

Question

I found the SASL libraries poking around with "ls." Is there a wrapper library in Apple's frameworks for it? At the Documentation site, I did see a "GSS" framework; does that do all the parts of SASL?

Answer 3

The macOS SDK includes a version of Cyrus SASL accessible via <sasl/sasl.h>. As with many of the open source frameworks built-in to macOS, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get the latest version. While I don’t have any experience with Cyrus SASL specifically, my experience with open source other libraries like this is that it’s better to use your own copy.
