No, it really doesn't work. But why are you wanting both SSL and SASL 
privacy ?

For the curious, the way the SSL I/O is layered in the server is not 
compatible with
the implementation of SASL encryption (they're both trying to layer at 
the same place
in the I/O stack). With sufficient motivation I suspect that SASL over 
SSL could be done,
but the question is why would anyone want to do that..

Perhaps all you need to do is to turn off SASL payload encryption. SASL 
authentication
with an SSL connection should work ok.
