Description Gordon Sim 2010-06-24 10:53:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

qpid::agent::ManagementAgent::init() defaults userid, password and mechanism to guest, guest and PLAIN respectively. Having these defaults encourages users to ignore the issue of authentication for their agents, leading to possible issues at deployment time.
Comment 1 Matthew Farrellee 2010-06-24 14:20:59 UTC 
condor_triggerd is currently relying on defaults for MA::init()

Discussion led to conclusion that the defaults should not specify a specific mechanism, allowing SASL to pick from installed mechanisms.

I've removed the blocker flag and 1.3 target from this bug but I've left the bug open so we don't lose track of this issue.

The general issue is to decide what the correct default should be for SASL-mechanism.

If the default is "", SASL will pick from what's available.  This is good except that the behavior may vary based on which SASL packages are installed.
