SASL problem

[magentaLi]

Does this client support connecting to the zk service with sasl authentication enabled??

THANKS

I have tried to find more info about it in the Zookeeper docs, but not understood how to actually use it. According to the release notes, there is SASL support for the C Client. This library is built on top of the C client, and maybe it will work out of the box. Or, needing some development.

I would appreciate help in finding out more details about the C client (there's guides for the Java client). 🙏

Update: as-is today, the nodejs client doesn't support it, because it currently exposes the standard C init_zookeeper. But the C code contains this comment about the sasl enabled alternative:

* This function is identical to \ref zookeeper_init2 except that it
 * allows specifying optional SASL connection parameters.  It is only
 * available if the client library was configured to link against the
 * Cyrus SASL library, and only visible when \c HAVE_CYRUS_SASL_H is defined.
 *

I'm not sure what this means and how to use it, but the Node.js AddOn could potentially expose this function, but I am not sure about the HAVE_CYRUS_SASL_H preprocessor directive.
