sasl_errors(3SASL)			      Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions				sasl_errors(3SASL)

NAME

       sasl_errors - SASL error codes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

DESCRIPTION

       This man page describes the general error codes that can be returned by calls into the SASL library. The meaning of the error code can vary
       slightly based upon the context of the call from which it is returned.

ERRORS

   Common Result Codes
       SASL_OK		The call was successful.

       SASL_CONTINUE	Another step is required for authentication.

       SASL_FAILURE	Generic failure.

       SASL_NOMEM	Memory shortage failure.

       SASL_BUFOVER	Overflowed buffer.

       SASL_NOMECH	The mechanism was not supported, or no mechanisms matched the requirements.

       SASL_BADPROT	The protocol was bad, invalid or cancelled.

       SASL_NOT DONE	Cannot request information. Not applicable until later in the exchange.

       SASL_BADPARAM	An invalid parameter was supplied.

       SASL_TRYAGAIN	Transient failure, for example, a weak key.

       SASL_BADMAC	Integrity check failed.

       SASL_NOTINIT	SASL library not initialized.

   Client Only Result Codes
       SASL_INTERACT	 Needs user interaction.

       SASL_BADSERV	 Server failed mutual authentication step.

       SASL_WRONGMECH	 Mechanism does not support the requested feature.

   Server Only Result Codes
       SASL_BADAUTH	Authentication failure.

       SASL_NOAUTHZ	Authorization failure.

       SASL_TOOWEAK	The mechanism is too weak for this user.

       SASL_ENCRYPT	Encryption is needed to use this mechanism.

       SASL_TRANS	One time use of a plaintext password will enable requested mechanism for user.

       SASL_EXPIRED	The passphrase expired and must be reset.

       SASL_DISABLED	Account disabled.

       SASL_NOUSER	User not found.

       SASL_BADVERS	Version mismatch with plug-in.

       SASL_NOVERIFY	The user exists, but there is no verifier for the user.

   Password Setting Result Codes
       SASL_PWLOCK	  Passphrase locked.

       SASL_NOCHANGE	  The requested change was not needed.

       SASL_WEAKPASS	  The passphrase is too weak for security policy.

       SASL_NOUSERPASS	  User supplied passwords are not permitted.

sasl_client_init(3SASL) 		      Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions			   sasl_client_init(3SASL)

NAME

       sasl_client_init - initialize SASL client authentication

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl	 [ library ... ]
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_client_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks);

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the  sasl_client_init()  interface	to  initialize	SASL.  The  sasl_client_init()	interface  must  be  called  before  any  calls to
       sasl_client_start(3SASL).  The call to sasl_client_init() initiallizes all SASL client drivers,	for  example,  authentication  mechanisms.
       SASL client drivers are usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl directory.

PARAMETERS

       callbacks       Specifies the base callbacks for all client connections.

RETURN VALUES

       sasl_client_init() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.

ERRORS

       SASL_OK	       The call to sasl_client_init() was successful.

       SASL_BADVERS    There is a mismatch in the mechanism version.

       SASL_BADPARAM   There is an error in the configuration file.

       SASL_NOMEM      There is not enough memory to complete the operation.

       All  other  error  codes  indicate  an  error  situation  that  must  be  handled,  or  the  authentication  session  should  be  quit. See
       sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.

NOTES

       While most of libsasl is MT-Safe, no other libsasl function should be called until this function completes.
