Abstract
This specification defines how HTTP Digest Authentication (RFC 2617) can be used as a Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL, RFC 4422) mechanism for any protocol that has a SASL profile. It is intended both as an improvement over CRAM-MD5 (RFC 2195) and as a convenient way to support a single authentication mechanism for web, mail, LDAP, and other protocols.
