RFC Editor Note
In Section 3.2, change the 4th paragraph to read:
OLD:
When applying SASLprep [RFC4013], servers MUST reject UTF-8 user
names or passwords which contain a Unicode character listed in
section 2.3 of SASLprep [RFC4013].
NEW:
When applying SASLprep [RFC4013], servers MUST reject UTF-8 user
names or passwords which contain a Unicode character listed in
section 2.3 of SASLprep [RFC4013].
When applying SASLPrep to the USER argument, to the PASS argument
or to the APOP username argument, a compliant server or client MUST
treat them as a query string (i.e., unassigned Unicode codepoints are
allowed). When applying SASLPrep to the APOP password argument, a
compliant server or client MUST treat them as a stored string (i.e.,
unassigned Unicode codepoints are prohibited).
