KAFKA-2658: Add PLAIN mechanism to SASL implementation
Implementation and unit tests for SASL/PLAIN. A simple login module and
SaslServer implementation for PLAIN mechanism are included in the
implementation, but these can be replaced to integrate with authentication
servers.

KAFKA-2658: Add PLAIN mechanism to SASL implementation

> Key: KAFKA-2658
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2658

> Components: security

> Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.9.0.0

>
> KAFKA-1686 supports SASL/Kerberos using GSSAPI. We should enable more SASL
> mechanisms. SASL/PLAIN would enable a simpler use of SASL, which along with
> SSL provides a secure Kafka that uses username/password for client
> authentication.
> SASL/PLAIN protocol and its uses are described in
> [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4616]. It is supported in Java.
> This should be implemented after KAFKA-1686. This task should also hopefully
> enable simpler unit testing of the SASL code.
