Sorry...having found the general section (33) in the spec, I didn't go on to
sections 34, 35, and 37 of the spec, which do show the setup.
Sample authenticator for PLAIN mechanism (where ^ becomes an ASCII NUL as
defined for the protocol):
fixed_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = ^ph10^secret
LOGIN is similar (but of course different)
fixed_login:
driver plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = : ph10 : secret
(client_send there is an Exim list of <empty>, name, password)
fixed_cram:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name = ph10
client_secret = secret
client_send, client_name, and client_secret are expanded, should you need to
vary them.
Interestingly, the book doesn't seem to disclose how SPA is configured.
Odd, in that it was as a client that SPA was first implemented.
