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.

sasl_server_step(3SASL) 		      Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions			   sasl_server_step(3SASL)

NAME

       sasl_server_step - perform a step in the server authentication negotiation

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl	 [ library ... ]
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char  *clientin, unsigned clientinlen, const char	**serverout, unsigned *serveroutlen);

DESCRIPTION

       The sasl_server_step() performs a step in the authentication negotiation.

PARAMETERS

       conn	       The SASL context for this connection.

       clientin        The data given by the client. The data is decoded if the protocol encodes requests that are sent over the wire.

       clientinlen     The length of clientin.

       serverout       Set by the library and sent to the client.
       serveroutlen

RETURN VALUES

       sasl_server_step() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.

ERRORS

       SASL_OK	       The whole authentication completed successfully.

       SASL_CONTINUE   The call to sasl_server_step() was successful, and at least one more step is needed for the authentication.

       All  other  error  codes  indicate  an  error  situation  that  you  must  handle,  or  you  should  quit  the  authentication session. See
       sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.
