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.
