SASL_CHECKPASS(3)                 Cyrus SASL                 SASL_CHECKPASS(3)

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   exam-
              ple   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 fol-
       lowing 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.
