NAME

       sasl_checkpass - Cyrus SASL documentation

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.
