NAME

       sasl_checkpass - Check a plaintext password

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
			const char *user,
			unsigned userlen,
			const char *pass,
			unsigned passlen);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_checkpass()  will  check a plaintext password. This is needed for protocols that had a login method before SASL (for example the LOGIN
       command in IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheck_method See sasl_callbacks(3) for information on how this parameter is set.

RETURN VALUE

       sasl_checkpass returns an integer which corresponds to one of the following codes. 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.  See sasl_errors(3) for
       meanings of return codes.

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.
