From bcf70849821a12b3eed3345cc9dd778f63dd9d9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Winni Neessen Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2024 16:39:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add detailed documentation comments for SCRAM methods Enhanced code readability and maintainability by adding comprehensive documentation comments to all methods and struct definitions in the `smtp/auth_scram.go` file. This improves clarity on the functionality and usage of the SCRAM (Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism) methods and structures. --- smtp/auth_scram.go | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/smtp/auth_scram.go b/smtp/auth_scram.go index 14308fa..c70b210 100644 --- a/smtp/auth_scram.go +++ b/smtp/auth_scram.go @@ -23,6 +23,8 @@ import ( "golang.org/x/text/secure/precis" ) +// scramAuth represents a SCRAM (Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism) client and +// satisfies the smtp.Auth interface. type scramAuth struct { username, password, algorithm string firstBareMsg, nonce, saltedPwd, authMessage []byte @@ -116,6 +118,7 @@ func (a *scramAuth) Next(fromServer []byte, more bool) ([]byte, error) { return nil, nil } +// reset clears all authentication-related properties in the scramAuth instance, effectively resetting its state. func (a *scramAuth) reset() { a.nonce = nil a.firstBareMsg = nil @@ -124,6 +127,8 @@ func (a *scramAuth) reset() { a.iterations = 0 } +// initialClientMessage generates the initial message for SCRAM authentication, including a nonce and +// optional channel binding. func (a *scramAuth) initialClientMessage() ([]byte, error) { username, err := a.normalizeUsername() if err != nil { @@ -140,11 +145,16 @@ func (a *scramAuth) initialClientMessage() ([]byte, error) { a.firstBareMsg = []byte("n=" + username + ",r=" + string(a.nonce)) returnBytes := []byte("n,," + string(a.firstBareMsg)) + // SCRAM-SHA-X-PLUS auth requires channel binding if a.isPlus { bindType := "tls-unique" connState := a.tlsConnState bindData := connState.TLSUnique -
