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.
