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

NAME

       sasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initialization

SYNOPSIS

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

       int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback *callbacks, const char *appname);

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the  sasl_server_init()  interface to initialize SASL. You must call sasl_server_init() before you make a call to sasl_server_start().
       sasl_server_init() may be called only once per process. A call to sasl_server_init() initializes all SASL mechanism drivers, that  is,  the
       authentication mechanisms. The SASL mechanism drivers are usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl directory.

PARAMETERS

       callbacks    Specifies the base callbacks for all client connections.

       appname	    The name of the application for lower level logging. For example, the sendmail server calls appname this way:

		      sasl_server_init(srvcallbacks, "Sendmail")

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

       SASL_OK	  The call to sasl_server_init() was successful.

       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.

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

NAME

       sasl_server_start - create a new server authentication object

SYNOPSIS

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

       int sasl_server_start(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char  *mech,
	    const char	*clientin, unsigned *clientinlen,
	    const char	**serverout, unsigned *serveroutlen);

DESCRIPTION

       The  sasl_server_start()  interface begins the authentication with the mechanism specified by the mech parameter. sasl_server_start() fails
       if the mechanism is not supported.

PARAMETERS

       conn	       The SASL context for this connection.

       mech	       The mechanism name that the client requested.

       clientin        The initial response from the client. The value of clientin is NULL if the protocol lacks support for the client-send-first
		       or if the other end did not have an initial send. No initial client send is distinct from an initial send of a null string.
		       The protocol must account for this difference.

       clientinlen     The length of the initial response.

       serverout       Created by the plugin library. The value of serverout is the initial server response to send to the  client.  serverout	is
		       allocated or freed by the library. It is the job of the client to send it over the network to the server. Protocol specific
		       encoding, for example base64 encoding, must be done by the server.

       serveroutlen    The length of the initial server challenge.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

       SASL_OK		Authentication completed successfully.

       SASL_CONTINUE	The call to sasl_server_start() was successful, and more steps are needed in the authentication.

       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.
