sasl: Mechanisms

 
 3.1 Mechanisms
 ==============
 
 A mechanism (‘sasl-mechanism’ object) is a schema of the SASL
 authentication mechanism driver.
 
  -- Variable: sasl-mechanisms
      A list of mechanism names.
 
  -- Function: sasl-find-mechanism mechanisms
 
      Retrieve an appropriate mechanism.  This function compares
      MECHANISMS and ‘sasl-mechanisms’ then returns appropriate
      ‘sasl-mechanism’ object.
 
           (let ((sasl-mechanisms '("CRAM-MD5" "DIGEST-MD5")))
             (setq mechanism (sasl-find-mechanism server-supported-mechanisms)))
 
  -- Function: sasl-mechanism-name mechanism
      Return name of mechanism, a string.
 
    If you want to write an authentication mechanism driver (Back
 end drivers), use ‘sasl-make-mechanism’ and modify ‘sasl-mechanisms’
 and ‘sasl-mechanism-alist’ correctly.
 
  -- Function: sasl-make-mechanism name steps
      Allocate a ‘sasl-mechanism’ object.  This function takes two
      parameters—name of the mechanism, and a list of authentication
      functions.
 
           (defconst sasl-anonymous-steps
             '(identity                            ;no initial response
               sasl-anonymous-response))
 
           (put 'sasl-anonymous 'sasl-mechanism
                (sasl-make-mechanism "ANONYMOUS" sasl-anonymous-steps))
