Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5(3)

NAME
Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 - Digest MD5 Authentication class

VERSION
version 2.1700

SYNOPSIS
  use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

  $sasl = Authen::SASL->new(
    mechanism => 'DIGEST-MD5',
    callback  => {
      user => $user,
      pass => $pass,
      serv => $serv
    },
  );

DESCRIPTION
This method implements the client and server parts of the DIGEST-MD5 SASL algorithm, as described in RFC 2831.

  CALLBACK
The callbacks used are:

client

authname
    The authorization id to use after successful authentication

user
    The username to be used in the response

pass
    The password to be used to compute the response.

serv
    The service name when authenticating to a replicated service

realm
    The authentication realm when overriding the server-provided default. If not given the server-provided value is used.

    The callback will be passed the list of realms that the server provided in the initial response.

server

realm
    The default realm to provide to the client

getsecret(username, realm, authzid)
    returns the password associated with "username" and "realm"

  PROPERTIES
The properties used are:

maxbuf
    The maximum buffer size for receiving cipher text

minssf
    The minimum SSF value that should be provided by the SASL security layer. The default is 0

maxssf
    The maximum SSF value that should be provided by the SASL security layer. The default is 2**31

externalssf
    The SSF value provided by an underlying external security layer. The default is 0

ssf The actual SSF value provided by the SASL security layer after the SASL authentication phase has been completed. This value is read-only and set by the implementation after the SASL authentication phase has been completed.

maxout
    The maximum plaintext buffer size for sending data to the peer. This value is set by the implementation after the SASL authentication phase has been completed and a SASL security layer is in effect.
