NAME

       sasl_callbacks - Cyrus SASL documentation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_callbacks    are   used   when  the  application  needs  some  information  from  the
       application. Common reasons are  getting for  getting  usernames and passwords.  A  client
       MUST  specify    what    callbacks     they     support    in    the sasl_client_init(3)/‐
       sasl_server_init(3) or   sasl_client_new(3)/sasl_server_new(3) calls. If an authentication
       mechanism   needs   a  callback that  the application does not state it supports it cannot
       be used.

       If a callback has an id parameter that should  be  checked to make sure you are giving the
       appropriate value.

       If   an  application  is  using  the  client side of the library functions to  handle  the
       callbacks  are  not  necessary.  Instead  the  application   may   deal   with   callbacks
       via    SASL_INTERACT’s.     See    sasl_client_start(3)/sasl_client_step(3)    for    more
       information.
