Overview

Pluggable authentication mechanisms for protocols which support SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer), such as IMAP4, SMTP, LDAP, and XMPP. RFC-4422 specifies the common SASL framework and the EXTERNAL mechanism, and the SASL mechanism registry lists the specification for others.

“SASL is conceptually a framework that provides an abstraction layer between protocols and mechanisms as illustrated in the following diagram.”
