NAME
       sasl_server_init - Cyrus SASL documentation


SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
                            const char *appname);


DESCRIPTION
       int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,

       const char *appname);
              sasl_server_init()   initializes   SASL.    It    must    be    called   before    any   calls  to
              sasl_server_start, and only once per process.  This call initializes all  SASL  mechanism  drivers
              (e.g.  authentication mechanisms). These are usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl2 directory but the
              directory  may  be overridden  with the SASL_PATH environment variable (or at compile time).

              Parameters

                     • callbacks  –  specifies  the  base  callbacks  for  all  client  connections.   See   the
                       sasl_callbacks(3) man page for more information.

                     • appname – is the name of the application.  It  is  used to find the default configuration
                       file.


RETURN VALUE
       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 either be handled or the authentication session should be
       quit.
