NAME
       sasl_client_new - Create a new client authentication object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_client_new(const char *service,
		       const char *serverFQDN,
		       const char *iplocalport,
		       const char *ipremoteport,
		       const sasl_callback_t *prompt_supp,
		       unsigned flags,
		       sasl_conn_t ** pconn);

DESCRIPTION
       sasl_client_new()  creates a new SASL context. This context will be used for all SASL calls for one connection. It handles both authentica-
       tion and integrity/encryption layers after authentication.

       service is the registered name of the service (usually the protocol name) using SASL (e.g. "imap").

       serverFQDN is the fully qualified domain name of the server (e.g. "serverhost.cmu.edu").

       iplocalport is the IP and port of the local side of the connection, or NULL.  If iplocalport  is  NULL  it  will  disable  mechanisms  that
       require	IP  address  information.   This  strings  must  be in one of the following formats: "a.b.c.d;port" (IPv4), "e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l;port"
       (IPv6), or "e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d;port" (IPv6)

       ipremoteport is the IP and port of the remote side of the connection, or NULL (see iplocalport)

       prompt_supp is a list of client interactions supported that is unique to this connection. If this parameter is NULL  the  global  callbacks
       (specified in sasl_client_init) will be used. See sasl_callback for more information.

       flags are connection flags (see below)

       pconn is the connection context allocated by the library. This structure will be used for all future SASL calls for this connection.

       Connection Flags

       Flags that may be passed to sasl_server_new() include

       SASL_SUCCESS_DATA
	       The protocol supports a server-last send

       SASL_NEED_PROXY
	       Force the use of a mechanism that supports an authorization id that is not the authentication id.

RETURN VALUE
       sasl_client_new	returns  an  integer  which corresponds to one of the following 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.

ERRORS
       SASL_OK Success

       SASL_BADPARAM
	       Error in config file or passed parameters

       SASL_NOMECH
	       No mechanism meets requested properties

       SASL_NOMEM
	       Not enough memory to complete operation
