+/**
+ * <p>Performs SASL authentication as a client.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>A protocol library such as one for LDAP gets an instance of this class in
+ * order to perform authentication defined by a specific SASL mechanism.
+ * Invoking methods on the <code>SaslClient</code> instance process challenges
+ * and create responses according to the SASL mechanism implemented by the
+ * <code>SaslClient</code>. As the authentication proceeds, the instance
+ * encapsulates the state of a SASL client's authentication exchange.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Here's an example of how an LDAP library might use a <code>SaslClient</code>.
+ * It first gets an instance of a SaslClient:</p>
+ * <pre>
+ *SaslClient sc =
+ * Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms, authorizationID, protocol,
+ * serverName, props, callbackHandler);
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>It can then proceed to use the client for authentication. For example, an
+ * LDAP library might use the client as follows:</p>
+ * <pre>
+ * // Get initial response and send to server
+ *byte[] response = sc.hasInitialResponse()
+ * ? sc.evaluateChallenge(new byte[0]) : null;
+ *LdapResult res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response);
+ *while (!sc.isComplete()
+ * && ((res.status == SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS) || (res.status == SUCCESS))) {
+ * response = sc.evaluateChallenge( res.getBytes() );
+ * if (res.status == SUCCESS) {
+ * // we're done; don't expect to send another BIND
+ * if ( response != null ) {
+ * throw new SaslException(
+ * "Protocol error: attempting to send response after completion");
+ * }
+ * break;
+ * }
+ * res = ldap.sendBindRequest(dn, sc.getName(), response);
+ *}
+ *if (sc.isComplete() && (res.status == SUCCESS) ) {
+ * String qop = (String)sc.getNegotiatedProperty(Sasl.QOP);
+ * if ((qop != null)
+ * && (qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-int")
+ * || qop.equalsIgnoreCase("auth-conf"))) {
+ * // Use SaslClient.wrap() and SaslClient.unwrap() for future
+ * // communication with server
+ * ldap.in = new SecureInputStream(sc, ldap.in);
+ * ldap.out = new SecureOutputStream(sc, ldap.out);
+ * }
+ *}
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>If the mechanism has an initial response, the library invokes
+ * {@link #evaluateChallenge(byte[])} with an empty challenge to get the initial
+ * response. Protocols such as IMAP4, which do not include an initial response
+ * with their first authentication command to the server, initiate the
+ * authentication without first calling {@link #hasInitialResponse()} or
+ * {@link #evaluateChallenge(byte[])}. When the server responds to the command,
+ * it sends an initial challenge. For a SASL mechanism in which the client sends
+ * data first, the server should have issued a challenge with no data. This will
+ * then result in a call (on the client) to {@link #evaluateChallenge(byte[])}
+ * with an empty challenge.</p>

+ * @see Sasl
+ * @see SaslClientFactory
