-Contains class and interfaces for supporting SASL.
-
-This package defines classes and interfaces for SASL mechanisms.
-It is used by developers to add authentication support for 
-connection-based protocols that use SASL. 
-
-<h4>SASL Overview</h4>
-<p>
-
-Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) specifies a
-challenge-response protocol in which data is exchanged between the
-client and the server for the purposes of
-authentication and (optional) establishment of a security layer on
-which to carry on subsequent communications.  It is used with
-connection-based protocols such as LDAPv3 or IMAPv4.  SASL is
-described in
-<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2222.txt">RFC 2222</A>.
-
-<p>
-There are various <em>mechanisms</em> defined for SASL.
-Each mechanism defines the data that must be exchanged between the
-client and server in order for the authentication to succeed.
-This data exchange required for a particular mechanism is referred to
-to as its <em>protocol profile</em>.
-The following are some examples of mechanims that have been defined by 
-the Internet standards community.
-<ul>
-<li>DIGEST-MD5 (<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2831.txt">RFC 2831</a>).
-This mechanism defines how HTTP Digest Authentication can be used as a SASL
-mechanism.
-<li>Anonymous (<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2245.txt">RFC 2245</a>).
-This mechamism is anonymous authentication in which no credentials are
-necessary.
-<li>External (<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2222.txt">RFC 2222</A>).
-This mechanism obtains authentication information 
-from an external source (such as TLS or IPsec).
-<li>S/Key (<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2222.txt">RFC 2222</A>).
-This mechanism uses the MD4 digest algorithm to exchange data based on
-a shared secret.
-<li>GSSAPI (<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2222.txt">RFC 2222</A>).
-This mechanism uses the 
-<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2078.txt">GSSAPI</A>
-for obtaining authentication information.
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-Some of these mechanisms provide both authentication and establishment
-of a security layer, others only authentication.  Anonymous and
-S/Key do not provide for any security layers.  GSSAPI and DIGEST-MD5
-allow negotiation of the security layer.  For External, the
-security layer is determined by the external protocol.
-
-<h4>Usage</h4>
-
-<p>
-Users of this API are typically developers who produce
-client library implementations for connection-based protocols,
-such as LDAPv3 and IMAPv4,
-and developers who write servers (such as LDAP servers and IMAP servers).
-Developers who write client libraries use the
-<tt>SaslClient</tt> and <tt>SaslClientFactory</tt> interfaces.
-Developers who write servers use the
-<tt>SaslServer</tt> and <tt>SaslServerFactory</tt> interfaces.
-<p>
-Among these two groups of users, each can be further divided into two groups:
-those who <em>produce</em> the SASL mechanisms and those 
-who <em>use</em> the SASL mechanisms.
-The producers of SASL mechanisms need to provide implementations
-for these interfaces, while users of the SASL mechanisms use 
-the APIs in this package to access those implementations.
