Current version: RFC 4505 — Anonymous Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) Mechanism
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
As plaintext login commands are not permitted in new IETF protocols, a new way to provide anonymous login is needed within the context of the SASL [SASL] framework. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
