       sasl_getprop - Get a SASL property

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

		       const void ** pvalue);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_getprop  gets  the	value  of a SASL property. For example after successful authentication a server may wish to know the authorization
       name. Or a client application may wish to know the strength of the negotiated security layer.

			    if 0, call to sasl_encode, sasl_decode unnecessary
       SASL_MAXOUTBUF	 -  security layer max output buf unsigned
       SASL_DEFUSERREALM -  server authentication realm used
       SASL_GETOPTCTX	 -  context for getopt callback
       SASL_IPLOCALPORT  -  local address string
       SASL_IPREMOTEPORT -  remote address string
       SASL_SERVICE	 -  service passed to sasl_*_new
       SASL_SERVERFQDN	 -  serverFQDN passed to sasl_*_new
       SASL_AUTHSOURCE	 -  name of auth source last used, useful for failed
			    authentication tracking
