NAME

  sasl_checkpass - Check a plaintext password


SYNOPSIS

  #include <sasl/sasl.h>

  int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
			 const char *user,
			 unsigned userlen,
			 const char *pass,
			 unsigned passlen);


DESCRIPTION

  sasl_checkpass() will check a plaintext password. This is needed for
  protocols that had a login method before SASL (for example the LOGIN
  command in IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheck_method See
  sasl_callbacks(3) for information on how this parameter is set.


RETURN VALUE

  sasl_checkpass 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.
