NAME
       sasl_checkpass - Check a plaintext password

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
			const char *user,
			unsigned userlen,
			const char *pass,
			unsigned passlen);

DESCRIPTION
       sasl_checkpass()  will  check a plaintext password. This is needed for protocols that had a login method before SASL (for example the LOGIN
       command in IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheck_method See sasl_callbacks(3) for information on how this parameter is set.

RETURN VALUE
       sasl_checkpass 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.
