SASL_CLIENT_NEW(3) Cyrus SASL SASL_CLIENT_NEW(3)
NAME
sasl_client_new - Cyrus SASL documentation
SYNOPSIS
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_client_new(const char *service,
const char *serverFQDN,
const char *iplocalport,
const char *ipremoteport,
const sasl_callback_t *prompt_supp,
unsigned flags,
sasl_conn_t ** pconn);
DESCRIPTION
int sasl_client_new(const char *service,
const char *serverFQDN,
const char *iplocalport,
const char *ipremoteport,
const sasl_callback_t *prompt_supp,
unsigned flags,
sasl_conn_t ** pconn);
sasl_client_new() creates a new SASL context. This context will
be used for all SASL calls for one connection. It handles both
authentication and integrity/encryption layers after authentica-
tion.
Parameters
• service – the registered name of the service (usually
the protocol name) using SASL (e.g. “imap”).
• serverFQDN – the fully qualified domain name of the
server (e.g. “serverhost.example.com”).
• iplocalport – the IP and port of the local side of the
connection, or NULL. If iplocalport is NULL it will
disable mechanisms that require IP address information.
This string must be in one of the following for-
mats: “a.b.c.d;port” (IPv4), “e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l;port”
(IPv6), or “e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d;port” (IPv6)
• ipremoteport – the IP and port of the remote side of
the connection, or NULL (see iplocalport)
• prompt_supp – a list of client interactions supported
that is unique to this connection. If this parameter is
NULL the global callbacks (specified in
sasl_client_init(3)) will be used. See
sasl_callbacks(3) for more information.
• flags – are connection flags (see below)
• pconn – the connection context allocated by the li-
brary. This structure will be used for all future SASL
calls for this connection.
Connection Flags
Flags that may be passed to sasl_client_new():
• SASL_SUCCESS_DATA: The protocol supports a server-last send
•
SASL_NEED_PROXY: Force the use of a mechanism that supports an
authorization id that is not the authentication id.
RETURN VALUE
SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h
for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.
The following return codes indicate errors and should either be handled
or the authentication session should be quit:
• SASL_NOMECH: No mechanism meets requested properties
• SASL_BADPARAM: Error in config file
• SASL_NOMEM: Not enough memory to complete operation
