3. what is client response?( Is ther any specific RFC or docs on "server
challenge & client response" )
4. How server validates client's response?

All of these depend on which SASL mechanism is being used. Each SASL mechanism has an RFC associated with it. See <http://www.iana.org/assignments/sasl-mechanisms> for a list of the registered SASL mechanisms and the RFCs which describes what the challenge and the response should be for each.
