✨ Authen::SASL::Perl::OAUTHBEARER 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally the Authen::SASL::Perl::OAUTHBEARER manual page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's giving "OAuth 2.0 but make it SASL" 🎀

VERSION: version 2.2100 — yes, that's the number, don't @ me 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly, no cap:

use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

$sasl = Authen::SASL->new(
  mechanism => 'OAUTHBEARER',
  callback  => {
    user => $user,
    host => $hostname, #optional
    port => $port, #optional
    pass => $access_token
  },
);

like, that's it. that's the whole setup. slay ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this module implements the client side of the OAUTHBEARER SASL mechanism, which is used for OAuth 2.0-based authentication. it's lowkey iconic — it's the little guy doing the auth dance for you 🧚

🦋 CALLBACK 🦋

the callbacks used are, and yes, you need to know all of them:

🌈 Client

  • user — the username to be used for authentication. literally just who you are, bestie.
  • host — the hostname to which the client will connect to. it is optional and can be omitted. so like, if you don't have it, no big deal 💅
  • port — the destination port that the client will connect to. it should be a decimal positive integer string without leading zeros. it is optional and can be omitted. so 443 yes, 0443 absolutely not, and yes that matters, iykyk 😭
  • pass — the OAuth 2.0 access token to be used for authentication. this is the main character right here, the actual token, handle with care 👑
