Hi Michael, My question is, how to know the exact CAPABILITY after a user logged in, he'd have been able to know the CAPABILITY he really has. Simply, what should be followed as the CAPABILITY after a user logged in?

Once you login, the list of available authentication methods is irrelevant. The RFC allows the CAPABILITY string to be different in unauthenticated vs. authenticated state. michael
