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-0.2.3/lib/net/imap/authenticators.rb, line 15 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-0.2.3/lib/net/imap/authenticators.rb, line 21 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) end
