NAME

       CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID - authorization identity (identity to act as)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID, char *authzid);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  char  pointer  as  parameter,  which  should  be  pointing to the null-terminated
       authorization identity (authzid) for the transfer.  Only  applicable  to  the  PLAIN  SASL
       authentication mechanism where it is optional.

       When not specified only the authentication identity (authcid) as specified by the username
       is sent to the server, along with the password. The server  derives  a  authzid  from  the
       authcid when not provided, which it then uses internally.

       When  the  authzid  is  specified, the use of which is server dependent, it can be used to
       access another user's inbox, that the user has been granted access to, or a shared mailbox
       for example.

DEFAULT

       blank
