This is an SASL client library for Common Lisp. SASL is described in
RFC 2222.
* Dependencies
This library depends on the Ironclad cryptography library. Find it in
Debian (as cl-ironclad), though asdf-install (as ironclad) or on cliki.
* Supported mechanisms
Currently PLAIN, DIGEST-MD5 and ANONYMOUS are supported.
* Usage
** Choose a mechanism
Choose a mechanism to use. If you know what mechanism you want to
use, pass its name to GET-MECHANISM, which returns a symbol naming a
class, or NIL if that mechanism is not implemented.
If the server has given a list of mechanisms, and you want to choose
the best one that satisfies certain criteria, use the CHOOSE-MECHANISM
function. Its first argument is a list of strings naming the
available mechanisms. It takes two keyword arguments:
- CLEARTEXT: if true, accept mechanisms that send passwords in clear
text or with weak encryption (default false)
- ANONYMOUS: if and only if true, use mechanisms that acquire
anonymous access (default false)
CHOOSE-MECHANISM returns a symbol naming a class, or NIL if no
appropriate mechanism was found.
** Create a mechanism instance
Create an instance of the mechanism you want to use. Initargs common
to most mechanisms are:
:AUTHENTICATION-ID The name of the user whose password you have.
:AUTHORIZATION-ID The name of the user you want to impersonate.
If omitted, same as authentication-id.
:PASSWORD The password as a string, or a function of no
arguments that returns a password.
:SERVICE The service name, e.g. "xmpp" or "imap".
:HOST The hostname of the service.
:SERV-NAME The server you are connecting to.
If omitted, same as hostname.
The ANONYMOUS mechanism ignores all initargs except:
:TRACE Trace information (defaults to the empty string)
Example:
(let* ((mechanism "DIGEST-MD5")
(client (make-instance (sasl:get-mechanism mechanism)
:authentication-id "username"
:password "secret"
:service "imap"
:host "server")))
...
)
** Perform authentication
Once you have such an instance, do the following:
1. If the protocol you are using permits the client to send an initial
"response", call CLIENT-STEP with NIL as second argument. If it
returns a byte vector with non-zero length, use that as initial
response.
2. If the server presents a challenge, call CLIENT-STEP with the
challenge as second argument in byte vector form. CLIENT-STEP
returns either a byte vector to send as a response, or :FAILURE,
in which case authentication should be aborted.
Repeat this step as needed.
3. If the server reports successful authentication, you are still not
done. Some mechanisms perform mutual authentication, so you need
confirmation from CLIENT-STEP.
If the protocol allows it, and the server sends additional data
along with the success notification, pass that data to CLIENT-STEP
as if it were a challenge. CLIENT-STEP returns either :FAILURE,
which means that authentication should be aborted, or a response
that can be ignored.
After that, call CLIENT-STEP with :SUCCESS as second argument.
CLIENT-STEP returns either :SUCCESS or :FAILURE.
4. If the server reports authentication failure, no interaction with
this library is required.
* Compatibility
I have tested this code on CLISP and SBCL, but it should work on other
implementations as well. The code assumes that CHAR-CODE returns the
Unicode code point for every character in the given arguments, and for
ASCII characters.

Choose an SASL mechanism from AVAILABLE.
Return the class implementing the mechanism, or nil if no mechanism
is suitable.
AVAILABLE is a list of strings, naming the mechanisms offered by the
server.
If CLEARTEXT is true, accept mechanisms that send passwords in clear
text or with weak encryption.
If ANONYMOUS is true, use mechanisms that acquire anonymous access.
client.lisp (file)
Return the class name for the mechanism called NAME, or nil if not implemented.

The authorization id.
This is the user you want to act as. You don’t need to provide it
unless it is different from the authentication id.

Perform a step in the SASL authentication.
SERVER-INPUT is a byte vector containing the response from the
server, or NIL if the client should start the exchange, or the
keyword :SUCCESS if the server reported successful
authentication.
Returns a byte vector to be sent in response to the server, or :SUCCESS if the client should consider authentication successful, or :FAILURE if the client should consider authentication failed. Obeying this result is important, as some mechanisms provide mutual authentication.
