SIMPLE AUTHENTICATION AND SECURITY LAYER (SASL) MECHANISMS
----------------------------------------------------------
The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) [RFC2222] is a
method for adding authentication support to connection-based
protocols. To use this specification, a protocol includes a command
for identifying and authenticating a user to a server and for
optionally negotiating a security layer for subsequent protocol
interactions. The command has a required argument identifying a SASL
mechanism.
SASL mechanisms are named by strings, from 1 to 20 characters in
length, consisting of upper-case letters, digits, hyphens, and/or
underscores. SASL mechanism names must be registered with the IANA.
Procedures for registering new SASL mechanisms are given in the
section "Registration procedures" of RFC2222.
