NAME

       sasl_server_step - Perform a step in the authentication negotiation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                           const char *clientin,
                           unsigned clientinlen,
                        const char ** serverout,
                           unsigned * serveroutlen);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_server_step()  performs  a  step  in the authentication negotiation. It returns SASL_OK if the whole
       negotiation is successful and SASL_CONTINUE if this step is ok but at least one more step is needed.

       conn is the SASL connection context

       clientin is the data given by the client (decoded if the protocol encodes requests sent  over  the  wire)
       clientinlen is the length of clientin

       serverout and serveroutlen are set by the library and should be sent to the client.

RETURN VALUE

       sasl_server_step  returns  an  integer  which  corresponds  to one of the SASL error codes. SASL_CONTINUE
       indicates success and that there are more steps needed in the authentication. SASL_OK indicates that  the
       authentication  is  complete.  All other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or the
       authentication session should be quit.
