Creates a SaslClient using the parameters supplied.
Returns:
A possibly null
SaslClient created using the parameters
supplied. If null, this factory cannot produce a
SaslClient
using the parameters supplied.
Parameters:
-
mechanisms - The non-null list of mechanism names to try. Each is the
IANA-registered name of a SASL mechanism. (e.g. "GSSAPI", "CRAM-MD5").
-
authorizationId - The possibly null protocol-dependent
identification to be used for authorization.
If null or empty, the server derives an authorization
ID from the client's authentication credentials.
When the SASL authentication completes successfully,
the specified entity is granted access.
-
protocol - The non-null string name of the protocol for which
the authentication is being performed (e.g., "ldap").
-
serverName - The non-null fully qualified host name
of the server to authenticate to.
-
props - The possibly null set of properties used to select the SASL
mechanism and to configure the authentication exchange of the selected
mechanism. See the
Sasl class for a list of standard properties.
Other, possibly mechanism-specific, properties can be included.
Properties not relevant to the selected mechanism are ignored,
including any map entries with non-String keys.
-
cbh - The possibly null callback handler to used by the SASL
mechanisms to get further information from the application/library
to complete the authentication. For example, a SASL mechanism might
require the authentication ID, password and realm from the caller.
The authentication ID is requested by using a
NameCallback.
The password is requested by using a
PasswordCallback.
The realm is requested by using a
RealmChoiceCallback if there is a list
of realms to choose from, and by using a
RealmCallback if
the realm must be entered.
Throws:
-
SaslException - If cannot create a
SaslClient because
of an error.
