Constructor Details

PlainClient

public PlainClient()
The basic constructor. Object is special, because it has no superclass, so there is no call to super().

Method Details

evaluateChallenge

public byte[] evaluateChallenge(byte[] challenge)
            throws SaslException
Evaluates the challenge data and generates a response. If a challenge is received from the server during the authentication process, this method is called to prepare an appropriate next response to submit to the server.
Specified by:
evaluateChallenge in interface SaslClient
Overrides:
evaluateChallenge in interface ClientMechanism
Parameters:
challenge - the non-null challenge sent from the server. The challenge array may have zero length.
Returns:
the possibly null reponse to send to the server. It is null if the challenge accompanied a "SUCCESS" status and the challenge only contains data for the client to update its state and no response needs to be sent to the server. The response is a zero-length byte array if the client is to send a response with no data.
Throws:
SaslException - if an error occurred while processing the challenge or generating a response.

getNegotiatedQOP

protected String getNegotiatedQOP()
Overrides:
getNegotiatedQOP in interface ClientMechanism

hasInitialResponse

public boolean hasInitialResponse()
Determines if this mechanism has an optional initial response. If true, caller should call SaslClient.evaluateChallenge(byte[]) with an empty array to get the initial response.
Specified by:
hasInitialResponse in interface SaslClient
Overrides:
hasInitialResponse in interface ClientMechanism
Returns:
true if this mechanism has an initial response.

initMechanism

protected void initMechanism()
            throws SaslException
Overrides:
initMechanism in interface ClientMechanism

resetMechanism

protected void resetMechanism()
            throws SaslException
Overrides:
resetMechanism in interface ClientMechanism
