[Dovecot] Dovecot communication with sasl in dovecot source code

[Meisam Navaki]

Actually,I want to disable authentication in dovecot.I don't want dovecot to
authenticate.For that,I'm looking for into dovecot source code to find where
dovecot compares passwords or do something like this.I found fuction named
sasl_serever_auth_begin,but I couldn't understand what does it exactly do.
