NAME
sasl_checkpass - check a plaintext password SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ] #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *user, unsigned userlen, const char *pass, unsigned passlen); DESCRIPTION
The sasl_checkpass() interface checks a plaintext password. The sasl_checkpass() interface is used for protocols that had a login method before SASL, for example, the LOGIN command in IMAP. The password is checked with the pwcheck_method. The sasl_checkpass() interface is a server interface. You cannot use it to check passwords from a client. The sasl_checkpass() interface checks the posible repositories until it succeeds or there are no more repositories. If sasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t is registered, sasl_checkpass() tries it first. Use the pwcheck_method SASL option to specify which pwcheck methods to use. The sasl_checkpass() interface supports the transition of passwords if the SASL option auto_transition is on. If user is NULL, check is plaintext passwords are enabled. PARAMETERS
conn The sasl_conn_t for which the request is being made pass Plaintext password to check passlen The length of pass user User to query in current user_domain userlen The length of username. RETURN VALUES
sasl_checkpass() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code. ERRORS
SASL_OK Indicates that the authentication is complete 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. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
sasl_setpass - set the password for a user SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ] #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_setpass(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *user, const char *pass, unsigned passlen, const char *oldpass, unsigned oldpasslen, unsigned flags); DESCRIPTION
Use the sasl_setpass() interface to set passwords. sasl_setpass() uses the SASL_CB_SERVER_USERDB_SETPASS callback, if one is supplied. Additionally, if any server mechanism plugins supply a setpass callback, the setpass callback would be called. None of the server mecha- nism plugins currently supply a setpass callback. PARAMETERS
conn The SASL connection context user The username for which the password is set pass The password to set passlen The length of pass oldpass The old password, which is optional oldpasslen The length of oldpass, which is optional flags Refers to flags, including, SASL_SET_CREATE and SASL_SET_DISABLE. Use these flags to create and disable accounts. RETURN VALUES
sasl_setpass() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code. ERRORS
SASL_OK The call to sasl_setpass() was successful. See sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes. ATTRIBUTES
