NAME

       sasl_server_init - Cyrus SASL documentation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
                            const char *appname);

DESCRIPTION

       int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,

       const char *appname);
              sasl_server_init()  initializes  SASL.   It  must  be  called before  any  calls to
              sasl_server_start, and only once per  process.   This  call  initializes  all  SASL
              mechanism drivers (e.g.  authentication mechanisms). These are usually found in the
              /usr/lib/sasl2 directory but the directory  may  be overridden  with the  SASL_PATH
              environment variable (or at compile time).

              Parameters

                     • callbacks  – specifies the base callbacks for all client connections.  See
                       the sasl_callbacks(3) man page for more information.

                     • appname – is the name of the  application.   It   is   used  to  find  the
                       default configuration file.

RETURN VALUE

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

       Other return codes indicate errors and should either  be  handled  or  the  authentication
       session should be quit.
