SASL_CHECKPASS(3)                 Cyrus SASL                 SASL_CHECKPASS(3)

NAME
       sasl_checkpass - Cyrus SASL documentation

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,

       const char *user,

       unsigned userlen,

       const char *pass,

       unsigned passlen)
              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.
