Interface Summary | |
| SaslClient | Performs SASL authentication as a client. A protocol library such as one for LDAP gets an instance of this class in order to perform authentication defined by a specific SASL mechanism. |
| SaslClientFactory | An interface for creating instances of SaslClient. |
| SaslServer | Performs SASL authentication as a server. A server such as an LDAP server gets an instance of this class in order to perform authentication defined by a specific SASL mechanism. |
| SaslServerFactory | An interface for creating instances of SaslServer. |
Class Summary | |
| AuthorizeCallback | This callback is used by SaslServer to determine whether one entity
(identified by an authenticated authentication ID) can act on behalf of
another entity (identified by an authorization ID).
|
| RealmCallback | This callback is used by SaslClient and SaslServer to
retrieve realm information.
|
| RealmChoiceCallback | This callback is used by SaslClient and SaslServer to obtain
a realm given a list of realm choices.
|
| Sasl | A static class for creating SASL clients and servers.
This class defines the policy of how to locate, load, and instantiate SASL
clients and servers.
For example, an application or library gets a SASL client instance by
doing something like:
SaslClient sc =
Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms, authorizationID, protocol,
serverName, props, callbackHandler);
It can then proceed to use the instance to create an authenticated
connection.
Similarly, a server gets a SASL server instance by using code that looks
as follows:
SaslServer ss =
Sasl.createSaslServer(mechanism, protocol, serverName, props,
callbackHandler);

Exception Summary | |
| AuthenticationException | This exception is thrown by a SASL mechanism implementation to indicate
that the SASL exchange has failed due to reasons related to authentication,
such as an invalid identity, passphrase, or key.
Note that the lack of an AuthenticationException does not
mean that the failure was not due to an authentication error. |
| SaslException | This class represents an error that has occurred when using SASL. |
