 *
 * auth-scram.c
 *    Server-side implementation of the SASL SCRAM-SHA-256 mechanism.
 *
 * See the following RFCs for more details:
 * - RFC 5802: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5802
 * - RFC 5803: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5803
 * - RFC 7677: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7677
 *
 * Here are some differences:
 *
 * - Username from the authentication exchange is not used. The client
 *   should send an empty string as the username.
 *
 * - If the password isn't valid UTF-8, or contains characters prohibited
 *   by the SASLprep profile, we skip the SASLprep pre-processing and use
 *   the raw bytes in calculating the hash.
 *
 * - If channel binding is used, the channel binding type is always
 *   "tls-server-end-point".  The spec says the default is "tls-unique"
 *   (RFC 5802, section 6.1. Default Channel Binding), but there are some
 *   problems with that.  Firstly, not all SSL libraries provide an API to
 *   get the TLS Finished message, required to use "tls-unique".  Secondly,
 *   "tls-unique" is not specified for TLS v1.3, and as of this writing,
 *   it's not clear if there will be a replacement.  We could support both
 *   "tls-server-end-point" and "tls-unique", but for our use case,
 *   "tls-unique" doesn't really have any advantages.  The main advantage
 *   of "tls-unique" would be that it works even if the server doesn't
 *   have a certificate, but PostgreSQL requires a server certificate
 *   whenever SSL is used, anyway.
 *
 *
 * The password stored in pg_authid consists of the iteration count, salt,
 * StoredKey and ServerKey.
 *
 * SASLprep usage
 * --------------
 *
 * One notable difference to the SCRAM specification is that while the
 * specification dictates that the password is in UTF-8, and prohibits
 * certain characters, we are more lenient.  If the password isn't a valid
 * UTF-8 string, or contains prohibited characters, the raw bytes are used
 * to calculate the hash instead, without SASLprep processing.  This is
 * because PostgreSQL supports other encodings too, and the encoding being
 * used during authentication is undefined (client_encoding isn't set until
 * after authentication).  In effect, we try to interpret the password as
 * UTF-8 and apply SASLprep processing, but if it looks invalid, we assume
 * that it's in some other encoding.
 *
 * In the worst case, we misinterpret a password that's in a different
 * encoding as being Unicode, because it happens to consists entirely of
 * valid UTF-8 bytes, and we apply Unicode normalization to it.  As long
 * as we do that consistently, that will not lead to failed logins.
 * Fortunately, the UTF-8 byte sequences that are ignored by SASLprep
 * don't correspond to any commonly used characters in any of the other
 * supported encodings, so it should not lead to any significant loss in
 * entropy, even if the normalization is incorrectly applied to a
 * non-UTF-8 password.
 *
 * Error handling
 * --------------
 *
 * Don't reveal user information to an unauthenticated client.  We don't
 * want an attacker to be able to probe whether a particular username is
 * valid.  In SCRAM, the server has to read the salt and iteration count
 * from the user's stored secret, and send it to the client.  To avoid
 * revealing whether a user exists, when the client tries to authenticate
 * with a username that doesn't exist, or doesn't have a valid SCRAM
 * secret in pg_authid, we create a fake salt and iteration count
 * on-the-fly, and proceed with the authentication with that.  In the end,
 * we'll reject the attempt, as if an incorrect password was given.  When
 * we are performing a "mock" authentication, the 'doomed' flag in
 * scram_state is set.
 *
 * In the error messages, avoid printing strings from the client, unless
 * you check that they are pure ASCII.  We don't want an unauthenticated
 * attacker to be able to spam the logs with characters that are not valid
 * to the encoding being used, whatever that is.  We cannot avoid that in
 * general, after logging in, but let's do what we can here.
