8.5.2. Registering the SASL Mechanism
If you are using SASL as the authentication method, you need to register the SASL mechanisms that you plan to use.
In your initialization function (see Section 2.2, “Writing Plug-in Initialization Functions”), call the Chapter 22, Functions for Syntax Plug-ins function and specify the name of the SASL mechanism. For example:

slapi_register_supported_saslmechanism( "babsmechanism" );
...


Please note the part "Chapter 22, Functions for Syntax Plug-ins". This link (and chapter name) seems incorrect. I'm not expert in this area, but I guess that there should be link to "Chapter 28. Functions Specific to Bind Methods".
