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.
