pure-sasl
=========

:target: https://travis-ci.org/thobbs/pure-sasl

pure-sasl is a pure python client-side SASL implementation.

At the moment, it supports the following mechanisms: ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, EXTERNAL,
CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and GSSAPI. Support for other mechanisms may be added in the
future. Only GSSAPI supports a QOP higher than auth. Always use TLS!

Both Python 2 and Python 3 are supported.

Example Usage
-------------

.. code-block:: python

from puresasl.client import SASLClient

sasl = SASLClient('somehost2', 'customprotocol')
conn = get_connection_to('somehost2')
available_mechs = conn.get_mechanisms()
sasl.choose_mechanism(available_mechs, allow_anonymous=False)
while True:
status, challenge = conn.get_challenge()
if status == 'COMPLETE':
break
elif status == 'OK':
response = sasl.process(challenge)
conn.send_response(response)
else:
raise Exception(status)

if not sasl.complete:
raise Exception("SASL negotiation did not complete")

# begin normal communication
encoded = conn.fetch_data()
decoded = sasl.unwrap(encoded)
response = process_data(decoded)
conn.send_data(sasl.wrap(response))
