Registry for SASL authenticators used by Net::IMAP.
Adds an authenticator for use with Net::IMAP#authenticate. auth_type is the SASL mechanism supported by authenticator (for instance, “PLAIN”). The authenticator is an object which defines a #process method to handle authentication with the server. See Net::IMAP::PlainAuthenticator, Net::IMAP::LoginAuthenticator, Net::IMAP::CramMD5Authenticator, and Net::IMAP::DigestMD5Authenticator for examples.
If auth_type refers to an existing authenticator, it will be replaced by the new one.
# File net-imap-0.2.2/lib/net/imap/authenticators.rb, line 16
def add_authenticator(auth_type, authenticator)
authenticators[auth_type] = authenticator
end
Builds an authenticator for Net::IMAP#authenticate. args will be passed directly to the chosen authenticator's #initialize.
# File net-imap-0.2.2/lib/net/imap/authenticators.rb, line 22
def authenticator(auth_type, *args)
auth_type = auth_type.upcase
unless authenticators.has_key?(auth_type)
raise ArgumentError,
format('unknown auth type - "%s"', auth_type)
end
authenticators[auth_type].new(*args)
