SASL External #375

Closed travankor closed 3 years ago

travankor commented 4 years ago

Can you add support for SASL external (rfc 4422)?

Refs: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4422 https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/sasl-3.1

How is this an improvement over SASL with PLAIN over a TLS connection?

travankor commented 4 years ago

SASL External hard fails without TLS. It's part of the IRCv3 standard and you can use znc certauth. Additionally, you need SASL External to access some networks.
