+ SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for adding
+ authentication support to connection-based protocols. To use SASL, a protocol
+ includes a command for identifying and authenticating a user to a server and
+ for optionally negotiating protection of subsequent protocol interactions.
+ If its use is negotiated, a security layer is inserted between the protocol
+ and the connection. See RFC 2222 for more information.
+
+ Any of: ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI (MIT or Heimdal Kerberos 5),
+ NTLM, OTP, PLAIN, or LOGIN can be used. If you intend to use this package on a
+ server that provides SASL authentication, then you must install some of the
+ cyrus-sasl-modules* packages."
