class Net::IMAP::SASL::Authenticators

Registry for SASL authenticators

Registered authenticators must respond to new or #call (e.g. a class or a proc), receiving any credentials and options and returning an authenticator instance. The returned object represents a single authentication exchange and must not be reused for multiple authentication attempts.

An authenticator instance object must respond to #process, receiving the server’s challenge and returning the client’s response. Optionally, it may also respond to #initial_response? and #done?. When #initial_response? returns true, #process may be called the first time with nil. When #done? returns false, the exchange is incomplete and an exception should be raised if the exchange terminates prematurely.

See the source for PlainAuthenticator, XOAuth2Authenticator, and ScramSHA1Authenticator for examples.

end

Create a new Authenticators registry.

This class is usually not instantiated directly. Use SASL.authenticators to reuse the default global registry.

When use_defaults is false, the registry will start empty. When use_deprecated is false, deprecated authenticators will not be included with the defaults.

normalize_name (mechanism)

Source

# File lib/net/imap/sasl/authenticators.rb, line 26
def self.normalize_name(mechanism) -(mechanism.to_s.upcase.tr(?_, ?-)) end

Normalize the mechanism name as an uppercase string, with underscores converted to dashes.

  @authenticators[key] = authenticator
end

Registers an authenticator for authenticator to use. mechanism is the name of the SASL mechanism implemented by authenticator_class (for instance, "PLAIN").

If mechanism refers to an existing authenticator, the old authenticator will be replaced.

When only a single argument is given, the authenticator class will be lazily loaded from Net::IMAP::SASL::#{name}Authenticator (case is preserved and non-alphanumeric characters are removed..

authenticator(mechanism, ...) → auth_session

Source

# File lib/net/imap/sasl/authenticators.rb, line 111
def authenticator(mechanism, ...)
  key = Authenticators.normalize_name(mechanism)
  auth = @authenticators.fetch(key) do
    raise ArgumentError, 'unknown auth type - "%s"' % key
  end
  auth.respond_to?(:new) ? auth.new(...) : auth.call(...)
end

Builds an authenticator instance using the authenticator registered to mechanism. The returned object represents a single authentication exchange and must not be reused for multiple authentication attempts.

All arguments (except mechanism) are forwarded to the registered authenticator’s new or #call method. Each authenticator must document its own arguments.

Note: This method is intended for internal use by connection protocol code only. Protocol client users should see refer to their client’s documentation, e.g. Net::IMAP#authenticate.

Also aliased as: new
