NAME

       sasl_checkapop - Check an APOP challenge/response

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_checkapop(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                        const char *challenge,
                        unsigned challen,
                        const char *response,
                        unsigned resplen);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_checkapop()   will  check  an  APOP  challenge/response.   APOP  is  an  optional  POP3  (RFC  1939)
       authentication command which uses a shared secret (password). The password is stored in the SASL  secrets
       database.  For information on the SASL shared secrets database see the System Administrators Guide in the
       doc/ directory of the SASL distribution.

       If called with a NULL challenge, sasl_checkapop() will check to see if the APOP mechanism is enabled.

RETURN VALUE

       sasl_checkapop returns an integer which corresponds to one of the following codes. 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.  See sasl_errors(3) for meanings of return codes.
