Implementing Simple Authentication and Security Layer

PeopleTools supports Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) as a primary authentication mechanism. SASL is a framework for authentication and data security in many internet protocols. While there are several SASL mechanisms, PeopleTools supports PLAIN SASL only. To use SASL with PeopleTools, you need to add these parameters manually to the PSAPPSRV.CFG file and PSPRCS.CFG file in the SMTP settings section.
