SASL password normalization

there is very simple question - can you normalize for me some password, because I can't understand how it works? So, there is password: "IDoMdGuFE9S0", how it looks in "normalized" view? There are only alphanumeric ascii characters. Does result and original be equal?

PS: Sorry for my bad English.

Solution

  • I'm assuming with "normalized" you mean SASLpreped. In the case of "IDoMdGuFE9S0", the output is the same as the input (it is fully ASCII, with no control sequences or U+00AD).

    If you're writing an application that uses SASL, you should find a library to do this for you.
