/**

 * Performs SASL authentication as a client.

 *<p>

 * A protocol library such as one for LDAP gets an instance of this

 * class in order to perform authentication defined by a specific SASL

 * mechanism. Invoking methods on the <tt>SaslClient</tt> instance

 * process challenges and create responses according to the SASL

 * mechanism implemented by the <tt>SaslClient</tt>.

 * As the authentication proceeds, the instance

 * encapsulates the state of a SASL client's authentication exchange.

 *<p>

 * Here's an example of how an LDAP library might use a <tt>SaslClient</tt>.

 * It first gets an instance of a <tt>SaslClient</tt>:

 * SaslClient sc = Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms,

 *     authorizationId, protocol, serverName, props, callbackHandler);

 * It can then proceed to use the client for authentication.

 * For example, an LDAP library might use the client as follows:

 * // Get initial response and send to server

 * byte[] response = (sc.hasInitialResponse() ? sc.evaluateChallenge(new byte[0]) :

 *     null);

 * LdapResult res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response);

 * while (!sc.isComplete() &&

 *     (res.status == SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS || res.status == SUCCESS)) {

 *     response = sc.evaluateChallenge(res.getBytes());

 *     if (res.status == SUCCESS) {

 *         // we're done; don't expect to send another BIND

 *         if (response != null) {

 *             throw new SaslException(

 *                 "Protocol error: attempting to send response after completion");

 *         }

 *         break;

 *     }

 *     res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response);

 * }

 * if (sc.isComplete() && res.status == SUCCESS) {

 *    String qop = (String) sc.getNegotiatedProperty(Sasl.QOP);

 *    if (qop != null

 *        && (qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-int")

 *            || qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-conf"))) {

 *

 *      // Use SaslClient.wrap() and SaslClient.unwrap() for future

 *      // communication with server

 *      ldap.in = new SecureInputStream(sc, ldap.in);

 *      ldap.out = new SecureOutputStream(sc, ldap.out);

 *    }

 * }

 *

 * If the mechanism has an initial response, the library invokes

 * <tt>evaluateChallenge()</tt> with an empty

 * challenge and to get initial response.

 * Protocols such as IMAP4, which do not include an initial response with

 * their first authentication command to the server, initiates the

 * authentication without first calling <tt>hasInitialResponse()</tt>

 * or <tt>evaluateChallenge()</tt>.

 * When the server responds to the command, it sends an initial challenge.

 * For a SASL mechanism in which the client sends data first, the server should

 * have issued a challenge with no data. This will then result in a call

 * (on the client) to <tt>evaluateChallenge()</tt> with an empty challenge.
