sasl_checkpass(10 July 2001)                                                    sasl_checkpass(10 July 2001)



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 han-dled handled
       dled  or the authentication session should be quit.  See sasl_errors(3) for meanings of return codes.
