Hi.


I'm about to deploy an LDAP server, and have a few questions regarding
security.

I know that TLS is used for authentication and encryption, and that
one can choose wether to use passwords or certificates. But the whoe
SASL thing is new to me. So:
1) How is SASL used compared to TLS?
2) What is the benefit of using SASL as opposed to TLS?
3) Would use of certificate based TLS provide strong enough security
in most cases?
