class SASLInitiatingInitializer(xmlstream.BaseFeatureInitiatingInitializer): (source)
Stream initializer that performs SASL authentication.
The supported mechanisms by this initializer are DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN and ANONYMOUS. The ANONYMOUS SASL mechanism is used when the JID, set on the authenticator, does not have a localpart (username), requesting an anonymous session where the username is generated by the server. Otherwise, DIGEST-MD5 and PLAIN are attempted, in that order.
