sasl_encode(3SASL) Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions sasl_encode(3SASL) NAME
sasl_encode, sasl_encodev - encode data for transport to an authenticated host SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ] #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_encode(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *input, unsigned inputlen, const char **output, unsigned *outputlen); int sasl_encodev(sasl_conn_t *conn, const struct iovec *invec, unsigned numiov, const char *outputlen); DESCRIPTION
The sasl_encode() interface encodes data to be sent to a remote host for which there has been a successful authentication session. If there is a negotiated security, the data is signed or encrypted, and the output is sent without modification to the remote host. If there is no security layer, the output is identical to the input. The sasl_encodev() interface functions the same as the sasl_encode() interface, but operates on a struct iovec instead of a character buf- fer. PARAMETERS
conn The SASL connection context. input Data. inputlen input length. output The encoded data. output must be allocated or freed by the library. outputlen The length of output. invec A pointer to set of iovec structures. numiov The number of iovec structures in the invec set. RETURN VALUES
sasl_encode() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code. ERRORS
SASL_OK The call to sasl_encode() or sasl_encodev()was successful. See sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes. ATTRIBUTES

sasl_getprop(3SASL) Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions sasl_getprop(3SASL) NAME
sasl_getprop - get a SASL property SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ] #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_getprop(sasl_conn_t *conn, int propnum, const void **pvalue); DESCRIPTION
Use the sasl_getprop() interface to get the value of a SASL property. For example, after successful authentication, a server may want to know the authorization name. Similarly, a client application may want to know the strength of the security level that was negotiated. PARAMETERS
conn The SASL connection context. propnum The identifier for the property requested. pvalue The value of the SASL property. This value is filled in upon a successful call. Possible SASL values include: SASL_USERNAME A pointer to a null-terminated user name. SASL_SSF The security layer security strength factor. If the value of SASL_SSF is 0, a call to sasl_encode() or sasl_decode() is unnecessary. SASL_MAXOUTBUF The maximum size of output buffer returned by the selected security mechanism SASL_DEFUSERREALM Server authentication realm used. SASL_GETOPTCTX The context for getopt() callback. SASL_IPLOCALPORT Local address string. SASL_IPREMOTEPORT Remote address string. SASL_SERVICE Service passed on to sasl_*_new(). SASL_SERVERFQDN Server FQDN passed on to sasl_*_new(). SASL_AUTHSOURCE Name of authentication source last used. Useful for failed authentication tracking. SASL_MECHNAME Active mechanism name, if any. SASL_PLUGERR Similar to sasl_errdetail(). ERRORS
SASL_OK The call to sasl_getprop() was successful. See sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes. ATTRIBUTES
