29 * Performs SASL authentication as a server.
30 *<p>
31 * A server such an LDAP server gets an instance of this
32 * class in order to perform authentication defined by a specific SASL
33 * mechanism. Invoking methods on the <tt>SaslServer</tt> instance
34 * generates challenges according to the SASL
35 * mechanism implemented by the <tt>SaslServer</tt>.
36 * As the authentication proceeds, the instance
37 * encapsulates the state of a SASL server's authentication exchange.
38 *<p>
39 * Here's an example of how an LDAP server might use a <tt>SaslServer</tt>.
40 * It first gets an instance of a <tt>SaslServer</tt> for the SASL mechanism
41 * requested by the client:
42 *<blockquote><pre>
43 * SaslServer ss = Sasl.createSaslServer(mechanism,
44 * "ldap", myFQDN, props, callbackHandler);
45 *</pre></blockquote>
46 * It can then proceed to use the server for authentication.
47 * For example, suppose the LDAP server received an LDAP BIND request
48 * containing the name of the SASL mechanism and an (optional) initial
49 * response. It then might use the server as follows:
50 *<blockquote><pre>
51 * while (!ss.isComplete()) {
52 * try {
53 * byte[] challenge = ss.evaluateResponse(response);
54 * if (ss.isComplete()) {
55 * status = ldap.sendBindResponse(mechanism, challenge, SUCCESS);
56 * } else {
57 * status = ldap.sendBindResponse(mechanism, challenge,
58 SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS);
59 * response = ldap.readBindRequest();
60 * }
61 * } catch (SaslException e) {
62 * status = ldap.sendErrorResponse(e);
63 * break;
64 * }
65 * }
66 * if (ss.isComplete() && status == SUCCESS) {
67 * String qop = (String) sc.getNegotiatedProperty(Sasl.QOP);
68 * if (qop != null
69 * && (qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-int")
70 * || qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-conf"))) {
71 *
72 * // Use SaslServer.wrap() and SaslServer.unwrap() for future
73 * // communication with client
74 * ldap.in = new SecureInputStream(ss, ldap.in);
75 * ldap.out = new SecureOutputStream(ss, ldap.out);
76 * }
77 * }
78 *</pre></blockquote>
