These variables are used in SMTP authenticators (see chapters

The macro _HAVE_AUTH_GSASL_SCRAM_SHA_256 will be defined
when this happens.

.option client_authz gsasl string&!! unset

the account name to be used.

it is used in preference to &%client_password%&.
The value after expansion should be
a 40 (for SHA-1) or 64 (for SHA-256) character string
with the PBKDF2-prepared password, hex-encoded.

Note that this value will depend on the salt and iteration-count
supplied by the server.

+The option is expanded before use.
+.new
+During the expansion &$auth1$& is set with the client username,

+&$auth3$& with the salt.

+The intent of this option
+is to support clients that can cache thes salted password
+to save on recalculation costs.
+The cache lookup should return an unusable value
+(eg. an empty string)

+If the authentication succeeds then the above variables are set,

+A side-effect of this expansion can be used to prime the cache.

Some authentication mechanisms are able to use external context at both ends
of the session to bind the authentication to that context, and fail the
authentication process if that context differs. Specifically, some TLS
this option causes some clients to start failing. Some future release
of Exim might have switched the default to be true.
-However, Channel Binding in TLS has proven to be vulnerable in current versions.
