NAME

       sasl_authorize_t - Cyrus SASL documentation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_authorize_t(void *context,
                           const char *requested_user, unsigned alen,
                           const char *auth_identity, unsigned alen,
                           const char *def_realm, unsigned urlen,
                           struct propctx *propctx)

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_authorize_t   is  used to check whether the authorized user auth_identity may act  as
       the  user  requested_user.  For  example  the  user root may wish to authenticate with his
       credentials  but  act  as the user mmercer (with  all  of mmercer’s  rights  not roots). A
       server application should be very careful, and probably err on the side of  caution,  when
       determining which users may proxy as whom.

RETURN VALUE

       SASL   callback   functions  should  return  SASL return codes.  See sasl.h for a complete
       list. SASL_OK indicates success.
