--- !ruby/object:RI::MethodDescription aliases: [] block_params: comment: - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P body: "Sends an AUTHENTICATE command to authenticate the client. The <tt>auth_type</tt> parameter is a string that represents the authentication mechanism to be used. Currently Net::IMAP supports authentication mechanisms:" - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB body: " LOGIN:: login using cleartext user and password.\n CRAM-MD5:: login with cleartext user and encrypted password\n (see [RFC-2195] for a full description). This\n mechanism requires that the server have the user's\n password stored in clear-text password.\n" - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P body: "For both these mechanisms, there should be two <tt>args</tt>: username and (cleartext) password. A server may not support one or other of these mechanisms; check #capability() for a capability of the form "AUTH=LOGIN" or "AUTH=CRAM-MD5"." - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P body: "Authentication is done using the appropriate authenticator object: see @@authenticators for more information on plugging in your own authenticator." - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P body: "For example:" - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB body: " imap.authenticate('LOGIN', user, password)\n" - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P body: A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError is raised if authentication fails. full_name: Net::IMAP#authenticate is_singleton: false name: authenticate params: (auth_type, *args) visibility: public
