Subject: gssapi attempts to use password as a ticket
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:27:29 +0100
To: bug-Authen-SASL [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Andreas Hofmeister <andi [...] collax.com>
Authen::SASL 2.12 When an application is unaware of the GSSAPI mechanism and passes something true as a password, authentication fails - even though authentication otherwise would succeed. The applied patch just ignores the password. (It might be useful to pass some existent GSSAPI credentials to that module, although a software that would use such a functionality would be aware of the GSSAPI mechanism and could use an according method in that module directly.)

Message body is not shown because sender requested not to inline it.

Fixed in v2.13 just uploaded to CPAN. Allow time for it to reach CPAN mirrors
