💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Authen::SASL::Perl::ANONYMOUS — the Anonymous Authentication class 🎀 and yes, it's living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, page Authen:...NONYMOUS(3) (the header truncates it but we know what it is, iykyk 💅).

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.2100 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

no cap, this is literally all it takes:

use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

$sasl = Authen::SASL->new(
  mechanism => 'ANONYMOUS',
  callback  => {
    authname => $mailaddress
  },
);

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so this method implements the client part of the ANONYMOUS SASL algorithm, exactly as described in RFC 2245 resp. in IETF Draft draft-ietf-sasl-anon-XX.txt ⭐. it's giving "I'm here but I'm not telling you who I am" main character energy, fr fr.

🎀 CALLBACK 🎀

the callbacks used are:

  • authname — an email address or UTF-8 encoded string 🦋 to be used as trace information for the server. that's the whole vibe, that's the whole callback, periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
