NAME

       sasl_checkapop - Check an APOP challenge/response

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_checkapop(sasl_conn_t *conn,
			const char *challenge,
			unsigned challen,
			const char *response,
			unsigned resplen);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_checkapop()  will  check  an  APOP challenge/response.  APOP is an optional POP3 (RFC 1939) authentication command which uses a shared
       secret (password). The password is stored in the SASL secrets database.	For information on the SASL shared secrets database see the System
       Administrators Guide in the doc/ directory of the SASL distribution.

       If called with a NULL challenge, sasl_checkapop() will check to see if the APOP mechanism is enabled.

RETURN VALUE

       sasl_checkapop  returns	an integer which corresponds to one of the following codes. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication is complete.
       All other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session should be quit.  See  sasl_errors(3)  for
       meanings of return codes.
