As the authentication proceeds, the instance 049 * encapsulates the state of a SASL client's authentication exchange.</p> 050 * 051 * <p>Here's an example of how an LDAP library might use a <code>SaslClient</code>. 052 * It first gets an instance of a SaslClient:</p> 053 * <pre> 054 *SaslClient sc = 055 * Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms, authorizationID, protocol, 056 * serverName, props, callbackHandler); 057 * </pre> 058 * 059 * <p>It can then proceed to use the client for authentication. For example, an 060 * LDAP library might use the client as follows:</p> 061 * <pre> 062 * // Get initial response and send to server 063 *byte[] response = sc.hasInitialResponse() 064 * ? sc.evaluateChallenge(new byte[0]) : null; 065 *LdapResult res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response); 066 *while (!sc.isComplete() 067 * && ((res.status == SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS) || (res.status == SUCCESS))) { 068 * response = sc.evaluateChallenge( res.getBytes() ); 069 * if (res.status == SUCCESS) { 070 * // we're done; don't expect to send another BIND 071 * if ( response != null ) { 072 * throw new SaslException( 073 * "Protocol error: attempting to send response after completion"); 074 * } 075 * break; 076 * } 077 * res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response); 078 *} 079 *if (sc.isComplete() && (res.status == SUCCESS) ) { 080 * String qop = (String)sc.getNegotiatedProperty(Sasl.QOP); 081 * if ((qop != null) 082 * && (qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-int") 083 * || qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-conf"))) { 084 * // Use SaslClient.wrap() and SaslClient.unwrap() for future 085 * // communication with server 086 * ldap.in = new SecureInputStream(sc, ldap.in); 087 * ldap.out = new SecureOutputStream(sc, ldap.out); 088 * } 089 *} 090 * </pre> 091 * 092 * <p>If the mechanism has an initial response, the library invokes 093 * {@link #evaluateChallenge(byte[])} with an empty challenge to get the initial 094 * response. Protocols such as IMAP4, which do not include an initial response 095 * with their first authentication command to the server, initiate the 096 * authentication without first calling {@link #hasInitialResponse()} or 097 * {@link #evaluateChallenge(byte[])}. When the server responds to the command, 098 * it sends an initial challenge. For a SASL mechanism in which the client sends 099 * data first, the server should have issued a challenge with no data. This will 100 * then result in a call (on the client) to {@link #evaluateChallenge(byte[])} 101 * with an empty challenge.</p> 102 * 103 * @see Sasl 104 * @see SaslClientFactory 105 * 106 * @since 1.5 107 */ 108public interface SaslClient 109{ 110 111 /** 112 * Returns the IANA-registered mechanism name of this SASL client.
