libsasl - simple authentication and security layer library SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lsasl [ library... ] #include <sasl/sasl.h> #include <sasl/prop.h> #include <sasl/saslutil.h> DESCRIPTION
SASL is a security framework used by connection-oriented network applications primarily for authentication. Another way to describe SASL is that it is a glue layer between a network application and some security mechanisms that allow applications to authenticate each other and provide additional security services such as data encryption. As a glue layer, SASL hides the interface specifics of the security mechanism from the application, which allows greater portability and flexibility as new security mechanisms are implemented. SASL is simi- lar to the GSS-API in that it provides a layer of abstraction between an application and one or more security mechanisms. libsasl provides both an API for applications and an SPI for various plug-ins. To link with this library, specify -lsasl on the cc command line. INTERFACES
The shared object libsasl.so.1 and associated include files provide the public interfaces defined below. The *_t interfaces are function prototypes for callbacks that are defined in the public SASL header files. While libsasl provides default versions for some of the call- backs, this structure allows an application to define its own version of the some of the callback functions.
