       int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,

			const char ** serverout,
			   unsigned * serveroutlen);

DESCRIPTION
       sasl_server_step()  performs  a	step  in  the  authentication  negotiation.  It returns SASL_OK if the whole negotiation is successful and
       SASL_CONTINUE if this step is ok but at least one more step is needed.

       conn is the SASL connection context

       clientin is the data given by the client (decoded if the protocol encodes requests sent over the wire) clientinlen is the  length  of  cli-
       entin

       serverout and serveroutlen are set by the library and should be sent to the client.

RETURN VALUE
       sasl_server_step  returns  an  integer which corresponds to one of the SASL error codes. SASL_CONTINUE indicates success and that there are
       more steps needed in the authentication. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication is complete. All other return codes indicate errors  and
       should either be handled or the authentication session should be quit.
