29 * Performs SASL authentication as a client.
30 *<p>
31 * A protocol library such as one for LDAP gets an instance of this
32 * class in order to perform authentication defined by a specific SASL
33 * mechanism. Invoking methods on the <tt>SaslClient</tt> instance
34 * process challenges and create responses according to the SASL
35 * mechanism implemented by the <tt>SaslClient</tt>.
36 * As the authentication proceeds, the instance
37 * encapsulates the state of a SASL client's authentication exchange.
38 *<p>
39 * Here's an example of how an LDAP library might use a <tt>SaslClient</tt>.
40 * It first gets an instance of a <tt>SaslClient</tt>:
41 *<blockquote><pre>
42 * SaslClient sc = Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms,
43 * authorizationId, protocol, serverName, props, callbackHandler);
44 *</pre></blockquote>
45 * It can then proceed to use the client for authentication.
46 * For example, an LDAP library might use the client as follows:
47 *<blockquote><pre>
48 * // Get initial response and send to server
49 * byte[] response = (sc.hasInitialResponse() ? sc.evaluateChallenge(new byte[0]) :
50 * null);
51 * LdapResult res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response);
52 * while (!sc.isComplete() &&
53 * (res.status == SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS || res.status == SUCCESS)) {
54 * response = sc.evaluateChallenge(res.getBytes());
55 * if (res.status == SUCCESS) {
56 * // we're done; don't expect to send another BIND
57 * if (response != null) {
58 * throw new SaslException(
59 * "Protocol error: attempting to send response after completion");
60 * }
61 * break;
62 * }
63 * res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response);
64 * }
65 * if (sc.isComplete() && res.status == SUCCESS) {
66 * String qop = (String) sc.getNegotiatedProperty(Sasl.QOP);
67 * if (qop != null
68 * && (qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-int")
69 * || qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-conf"))) {
70 *
71 * // Use SaslClient.wrap() and SaslClient.unwrap() for future
72 * // communication with server
73 * ldap.in = new SecureInputStream(sc, ldap.in);
74 * ldap.out = new SecureOutputStream(sc, ldap.out);
75 * }
76 * }
77 *</pre></blockquote>
78 *
79 * If the mechanism has an initial response, the library invokes
80 * <tt>evaluateChallenge()</tt> with an empty
81 * challenge and to get initial response.
82 * Protocols such as IMAP4, which do not include an initial response with
83 * their first authentication command to the server, initiates the
84 * authentication without first calling <tt>hasInitialResponse()</tt>
85 * or <tt>evaluateChallenge()</tt>.
86 * When the server responds to the command, it sends an initial challenge.
87 * For a SASL mechanism in which the client sends data first, the server should
88 * have issued a challenge with no data. This will then result in a call
89 * (on the client) to <tt>evaluateChallenge()</tt> with an empty challenge.
