Class Sasl

java.lang.Object
javax.security.sasl.Sasl

public class Sasl extends Object
A static class for creating SASL clients and servers.

This class defines the policy of how to locate, load, and instantiate SASL clients and servers.

For example, an application or library gets a SASL client by doing something like:

 SaslClient sc = Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms,
     authorizationId, protocol, serverName, props, callbackHandler);
It can then proceed to use the instance to create an authentication connection.

Similarly, a server gets a SASL server by using code that looks as follows:

 SaslServer ss = Sasl.createSaslServer(mechanism,
     protocol, serverName, props, callbackHandler);
