Abstract

This specification defines how HTTP Digest Authentication [Digest] can be used as a SASL [RFC 2222] 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.
