NAME

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

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.
