Method Detail

saslAuthenticate

public boolean saslAuthenticate(ByteChars usrnam,
                                ByteChars passwd)

Null passwd arg means we simply want to establish whether this user exists, whereas blank arg means we are testing if login is possible without a password (ie. if this user has no password defined) and is therefore evaluated like any other password.

Parameters:

usrnam - the username

passwd - the password

Returns:

True if ok

saslPasswordLookup

public ByteChars saslPasswordLookup(ByteChars usrnam)

Returns plaintext password of specified user.
Returns null if user doesn't exist and blank if they exist but have no password.
Throws UnsupportedOperationException if password lookup is not possible.

Parameters:

usrnam - the username

Returns:

Plaintext password

saslAuthorise

public boolean saslAuthorise(ByteChars usrnam,
                             ByteChars rolename)

Returns true if user=usrnam is permitted to act as user=rolename.
If it returns True, then subsequent calls to SaslServer.getUser() will return rolename.

Parameters:

usrnam - the username

rolename - the rolename

Returns:

True if ok
