| Description |
|
The C driver has a dependency on ICU so that the SASLPrep function is available to support SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication. However, the ICU dependency has been the source of recurring headaches for end users [1, 2, 3, 4]. To reduce the friction associated with the ICU dependency, a SASLPrep method compliant with RFC-4013 should be implemented directly in the C driver and the ICU dependency should be dropped entirely. |

One possible reference implementation is the dependency used by the Go driver: https://github.com/xdg-go/stringprep. |
