sasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t

Cyrus SASL documentation

#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t(sasl_conn_t *conn,
        void *context,
        const char *user,
        const char *pass,
        unsigned passlen,
        struct propctx *propctx)

sasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t() is used to verify a plaintext password against the callback supplier’s user database. This is to allow additional ways to encode the userPassword property.
  • conn – is the SASL connection context
  • context – context from the callback record
  • user – NUL terminated user name with user@realm syntax
  • pass – password to check (may not be NUL terminated)
  • passlen – length of the password
  • propctx – property context to fill in with userPassword



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 be handled.
