Hi,
you can configure saslauthd to use PAM as authentication-backend. With
net-libs/pam_ldap it should be possible to authenticate with a LDAP-server.

Hi,

There's no need of the extra PAM step, saslauthd is able to talk
directly to LDAP. Inside the source distribution you may find a sample
file for LDAP access. This file doesn't get copied with the Gentoo
ebuild, so you'll have to find it in the tar itself.

HTH, best regards
Jose

Great. Thanks for the help. I will take a look at the source file and
see if I can figure out how to get LDAP access set up.
