Trait scram::server::AuthenticationProvider

pub trait AuthenticationProvider {
    fn get_password_for(&self, username: &str) -> Option<PasswordInfo>;

    fn authorize(&self, authcid: &str, authzid: &str) -> bool { ... }
}

An AuthenticationProvider looks up password information for a given user, and also checks if a user is authorized to act on another user's behalf. The authorization component is optional, and if not implemented will simply allow users to act on their own behalf, and no one else's.

To ensure the password is hashed correctly, cleartext passwords can be hased using the hash_password function provided in the crate root.

Required methods
