Trait Authenticator 

pub trait Authenticator {
    type Response: AsRef<[u8]>;

    // Required method
    fn process(&mut self, challenge: &[u8]) -> Self::Response;
}

This trait allows for pluggable authentication schemes. It is used by Client::authenticate to authenticate using SASL.

Required Associated Types

type Response: AsRef<[u8]>

The type of the response to the challenge. This will usually be a Vec<u8> or String.

Required Methods

fn process(&mut self, challenge: &[u8]) -> Self::Response

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
