Synopsis¶
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                 const char *user,
                 unsigned userlen,
                 const char *pass,
                 unsigned passlen);
Description¶
- 
int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
- 
const char *user,
- 
unsigned userlen,
- 
const char *pass,
- 
unsigned passlen)
- 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.
