<div style="line-height:1.7;color:#000000;font-size:14px;font-family:arial"><DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As the doc said</DIV>
<DIV>"This function starts an authentication session. It takes a list of possible mechanisms (usually gotten from the server through a capability command) and chooses the "best" mechanism to try. Upon success clientout points at data to send to the server"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am confused by "usually gotten from the server through a capability command". What does it exactly mean?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let's take ldap client for an example, is there a real LDAP operation sent to server over the network to get the mechanisms list supported by server if this function is called? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
