Description

The --sasl-config option specifies a directory that contains the sasl config file named qpidd.conf. Some checks are already made on that directory.

The broker should make the following additional tests on the directory that is specified with the --sasl-config option:

• That what is passed in is a directory and not a file
• That the directory contains a qpidd.conf file
• That the broker is able to read the qpidd.conf file

If any of the new tests fail, the broker should fail to start and an appropriate error message should be displayed.
