# frozen_string_literal: true

# Authenticator for the "+PLAIN+" SASL mechanism, specified in
# RFC-4616[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4616].  See Net::IMAP#authenticate.
#
# +PLAIN+ authentication sends the password in cleartext.
# RFC-3501[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3501] encourages servers to disable
# cleartext authentication until after TLS has been negotiated.
# RFC-8314[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8314] recommends TLS version 1.2 or
# greater be used for all traffic, and deprecate cleartext access ASAP.  +PLAIN+
# can be secured by TLS encryption.

  # Authentication identity: the identity that matches the #password.
  #
  # RFC-2831[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2831] uses the term +username+.
  # "Authentication identity" is the generic term used by
  # RFC-4422[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4422].
  # RFC-4616[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4616] and many later RFCs
  # abbreviate this to +authcid+.
  attr_reader :username
  alias authcid username

  # A password or passphrase that matches the #username.
  attr_reader :password
  alias secret password

  # Authorization identity: an identity to act as or on behalf of.  The identity
  # form is application protocol specific.  If not provided or left blank, the
  # server derives an authorization identity from the authentication identity.
  # The server is responsible for verifying the client's credentials and
  # verifying that the identity it associates with the client's authentication
  # identity is allowed to act as (or on behalf of) the authorization identity.
  #
  # For example, an administrator or superuser might take on another role:
  #
  #     imap.authenticate "PLAIN", "root", passwd, authzid: "user"
  #
  attr_reader :authzid

  # :call-seq:
  #   new(username,  password,  authzid: nil, **) -> authenticator
  #   new(username:, password:, authzid: nil, **) -> authenticator
  #   new(authcid:,  password:, authzid: nil, **) -> authenticator
  #
  # Creates an Authenticator for the "+PLAIN+" SASL mechanism.
  #
  # Called by Net::IMAP#authenticate and similar methods on other clients.
  #
  # ==== Parameters
  #
  # * #authcid ― Authentication identity that is associated with #password.
  #
  #   #username ― An alias for #authcid.
  #
  # * #password ― A password or passphrase associated with the #authcid.
  #
  # * _optional_ #authzid  ― Authorization identity to act as or on behalf of.
  #
  #   When +authzid+ is not set, the server should derive the authorization
  #   identity from the authentication identity.
  #
  # Any other keyword parameters are quietly ignored.
