/**
* Performs SASL authentication as a server.
*<p>
* A server such an LDAP server gets an instance of this
* class in order to perform authentication defined by a specific SASL
* mechanism. Invoking methods on the <tt>SaslServer</tt> instance
* generates challenges according to the SASL
* mechanism implemented by the <tt>SaslServer</tt>.
* As the authentication proceeds, the instance
* encapsulates the state of a SASL server's authentication exchange.
*<p>
* Here's an example of how an LDAP server might use a <tt>SaslServer</tt>.
* It first gets an instance of a <tt>SaslServer</tt> for the SASL mechanism
* requested by the client:
*<blockquote><pre>
* SaslServer ss = Sasl.createSaslServer(mechanism,
* "ldap", myFQDN, props, callbackHandler);
*</pre></blockquote>
* It can then proceed to use the server for authentication.
* For example, suppose the LDAP server received an LDAP BIND request
* containing the name of the SASL mechanism and an (optional) initial
* response. It then might use the server as follows:
*<blockquote><pre>
* while (!ss.isComplete()) {
* try {
* byte[] challenge = ss.evaluateResponse(response);
* if (ss.isComplete()) {
* status = ldap.sendBindResponse(mechanism, challenge, SUCCESS);
* } else {
* status = ldap.sendBindResponse(mechanism, challenge,
SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS);
* response = ldap.readBindRequest();
* }
* } catch (SaslException e) {
* status = ldap.sendErrorResponse(e);
* break;
* }
* }
* if (ss.isComplete() && status == SUCCESS) {
* String qop = (String) sc.getNegotiatedProperty(Sasl.QOP);
* if (qop != null
* && (qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-int")
* || qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-conf"))) {
*
* // Use SaslServer.wrap() and SaslServer.unwrap() for future
* // communication with client
* ldap.in = new SecureInputStream(ss, ldap.in);
* ldap.out = new SecureOutputStream(ss, ldap.out);
* }
* }
*</pre></blockquote>
