SASL Authentication
Currently, using system authentication (PAM) requires giving Cherokee
access to the system password files. SASL was designed to allow local
processes to perform authentication without needing this access. Are
there any plans for Cherokee to support SASL?

Thanks,
Douglas Mayle

Once you acknowledge that sasl by itself is just another local or remote
layer of authentication... it is not that different from PAM, LDAP and
likes. Libraries are available so it isn't that difficult, so maybe you
could log an RFE?
