Authen:...l::LOGIN(3)

💖 Authen:...l::LOGIN(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the man pages 🎀 (the title up top got truncated by your terminal's vibe check — it's really Authen::SASL::Perl::LOGIN)

✨ NAME ✨

Authen::SASL::Perl::LOGIN — Login Authentication class. that's it, that's the whole name section, we move 🫶

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.2100 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole setup, copy it exactly bestie:

use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

$sasl = Authen::SASL->new(
  mechanism => 'LOGIN',
  callback  => {
    user => $user,
    pass => $pass
  },
);

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this method implements both the client AND the server part of the LOGIN SASL algorithm — yes ma'am, both sides of the conversation 💖 — exactly as described in IETF Draft draft-murchison-sasl-login-XX.txt.

🎀 CALLBACK 🎀

The callbacks used are:

💜 Client

• user — the username to be used for authentication. who even are you, bestie
• pass — the user's password to be used for authentication. shhh 🤫

💙 Server

• getsecret(username) — returns the password associated with username
• checkpass(username, password) — returns true and false depending on the validity of the credentials passed in arguments. like a little yes/no girlie 💅
