NAME

       sasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initialization

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_server_init()  initializes	SASL.  It must be called before any calls to sasl_server_start, and only once per process.  This call ini-
       tializes all SASL mechanism drivers (e.g. authentication mechanisms). These are usually found  in  the  /usr/lib/sasl2  directory  but  the
       directory may be overridden with the SASL_PATH environment variable (or at compile time).

       callbacks specifies the base callbacks for all client connections. See the sasl_callbacks man page for more information.

       appname is the name of the application. It is used for where to find the default configuration file.

RETURN VALUE

       sasl_server_init  returns  an integer which corresponds to one of the SASL error codes. SASL_OK is the only one that indicates success. All
       others indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session should be quit.

CONFORMING TO

       RFC 4422

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.
