gsasl Package Installation on Mac

SASL library command-line interface!

GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms. SASL is used by network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP) to request authentication from clients, and in clients to authenticate against servers.

More Information: https://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/
Steps:

  1. Launch Terminal by pressing command+space, type terminal and hit Enter key.
  2. Run
    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
  3. Install
    brew install gsasl

GNU SASL consists of a library (`libgsasl’), a command line utility (`gsasl’) to access the library from the shell, and a manual. The library includes support for the framework (with authentication functions and application data privacy and integrity functions) and at least partial support for the CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, LOGIN, and NTLM mechanisms.

Done!
