/**
 * <p>Performs SASL authentication as a server.</p>
 *
 * <p>A server such as an LDAP server gets an instance of this class in order to
 * perform authentication defined by a specific SASL mechanism. Invoking methods
 * on the <code>SaslServer</code> instance generates challenges corresponding to
 * the SASL mechanism implemented by the <code>SaslServer</code> instance. As
 * the authentication proceeds, the instance encapsulates the state of a SASL
 * server's authentication exchange.</p>
 *
 * <p>Here's an example of how an LDAP server might use a <code>SaslServer</code>
 * instance. It first gets an instance of a <code>SaslServer</code> for the SASL
 * mechanism requested by the client:</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 *SaslServer ss =
 *      Sasl.createSaslServer(mechanism, "ldap", myFQDN, props, callbackHandler);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>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:</p>
 *
 * <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 x) {
 *      status = ldap.sendErrorResponse(x);
 *      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>

 * @see SaslServerFactory
