Description

Using SASL PLAIN in production may require a different username/password checking than what is currently in the codebase, based on data contained in the server jaas.conf.

To do so, a deployment needs to extend the SaslPlainServer as described here
http://kafka.apache.org/0100/documentation.html#security_sasl_plain_production

However the evaluate(byes) method still needs to impleemnt RFC4616, so it is useful to separate the password checking from the reading of the data from the wire.
A simple extract method into an overridable methos should suffice
