The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a framework for
providing authentication and data security services in
connection-oriented protocols via replaceable mechanisms. It provides
a structured interface between protocols and mechanisms. The
resulting framework allows new protocols to reuse existing mechanisms
and allows old protocols to make use of new mechanisms. The framework
also provides a protocol for securing subsequent protocol exchanges
within a data security layer.
This document describes how a SASL mechanism is structured, describes
how protocols include support for SASL, and defines the protocol for
carrying a data security layer over a connection. In addition, this
document defines one SASL mechanism, the EXTERNAL mechanism.
This document obsoletes RFC 2222. [STANDARDS TRACK]
