Hello and Thank you in advance for your help.
I have many questions, but will start with just a few.
Does ejabberd support SASL? If so, is it only "Plain SASL", or is another encrypted algorithm supported too? I have seen some posts saying MD5 is supported and some say it is not.
Can I authenticate using the "mail" attribute in LDAP? e.g.
If so, how?
Do I need to add the mod_vcard_ldap to do any of the above?
Some hints

The only thing I know is that when connecting with a XMPP 1.0 client ejabberd reports support for STARTTLS with SASL mechanisms: DIGEST-MD5 and PLAIN. Using Tkabber 0.10.0 I connect using DIGEST-MD5.
Do I need to add the mod_vcard_ldap to do any of the above?
I think that no, because the authentication method and Vcard support in a Jabber server are two unrelated things. The former is very important, the later is an optional feature that is not even included on XMPP RFCs.
