SASL::XGoogleTokSimplelAuthentication and Security LaySASL::XGoogleToken(3tcl)
______________________________________________________________________________
NAME
SASL::XGoogleToken - Implementation of SASL NTLM mechanism for Tcl
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2
package require SASL::XGoogleToken ?1.0.1?
______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides the XGoogleToken authentication mechanism for the
Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL).
Please read the documentation for package sasl for details.
TLS SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
This package uses the TLS package to handle the security for https urls
and other socket connections.
Policy decisions like the set of protocols to support and what ciphers
to use are not the responsibility of TLS, nor of this package itself
however. Such decisions are the responsibility of whichever applica-
tion is using the package, and are likely influenced by the set of
servers the application will talk to as well.
For example, in light of the recent POODLE attack [http://googleonli-
nesecurity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-
ssl-30.html] discovered by Google many servers will disable support for
the SSLv3 protocol. To handle this change the applications using TLS
must be patched, and not this package, nor TLS itself. Such a patch
may be as simple as generally activating tls1 support, as shown in the
example below.
package require tls
tls::init -tls1 1 ;# forcibly activate support for the TLS1 protocol
... your own application code ...
