The pure Go GSSAPI implementation (jcmturner/gokrb5) has checksum mismatch issues with MIT Kerberos KDCs. This adds a native ldapsearch wrapper as fallback when SASL_MECH=GSSAPI is configured. When GSSAPI is detected, ldap2pg delegates LDAP searches to the system ldapsearch command which uses battle-tested native GSSAPI libraries, and parses the LDIF output back into go-ldap SearchResult objects. Requires ldap-utils and libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit on the system.

Hello everyone,
Here is an implementation of using GSSAPI with ldap2pg as a workaround since the pure Go GSSAPI implementation (jcmturner/gokrb5) has checksum mismatch issues with MIT Kerberos KDCs, making it unusable in practice. To work around this, LDAP searches are delegated to the system
ldapsearchcommand which uses native GSSAPI libraries, and the LDIF output is parsed back into go-ldap SearchResult objects.Here are the limitations I noticed:
