sasl_server_step(10 July 2001)                                                sasl_server_step(10 July 2001)



NAME
       sasl_server_step - Perform a step in the authentication negotiation



SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                           const char *clientin,
                           unsigned clientinlen,
                        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 sucessful 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 clientin

       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 sucess 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.
