 SASL (Simple Application and Security Layer) is the method used to secure data in LSMCD and Memcached. For details on the use of SASL in LSMCD see [[litespeed_wiki:lsmcd:new_sasl|LSMCD Security Using SASL]].
-This wiki discusses a feature of LSMCD which is not available in traditional Memcached: separation of individual users' data.  This means that data saved by one user is not visible to any other users.  You must have LSMCD v1.2 or higher to use this feature. In Memcached and traditional LSMCD, any data stored is available to all users, which allows fast population of the cache and high utilization.  However, it is insecure and thus can't be used to cache any data which is deemed to be sensitive.

In Memcached and traditional LSMCD, any data stored is available to all users (all authorized users if you have SASL enabled), which allows fast population of the cache and high utilization.  However, it is insecure and thus can't be used to cache any data which is deemed to be sensitive to a specific user.
 This new option allows data to be available to only the user authorized to access it.  Thus the advantages of Memcached performance becomes available to sensitive data.
