#process(data) ⇒ Object

From RFC 2595 Section 6. PLAIN SASL Authentication

The mechanism consists of a single message from the client to the
server.  The client sends the authorization identity (identity to
login as), followed by a US-ASCII NUL character, followed by the
authentication identity (identity whose password will be used),
followed by a US-ASCII NUL character, followed by the clear-text
password.  The client may leave the authorization identity empty to
indicate that it is the same as the authentication identity.
