It is common practice on the Internet to permit anonymous access to various
services. Traditionally, this has been done with a plain text password
mechanism using 'anonymous' as the user name and optional trace
information, such as an email address, as the password. As plaintext login
commands are not permitted in new IETF protocols, a new way to provide
anonymous login is needed within the context of the Simple Authentication
and Security Layer (SASL) framework.
