  • NAME
      sasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initialization

  • SYNOPSIS
      
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>
      
       int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t  *callbacks , 
                             const char  *appname ); 
  • DESCRIPTION

      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 overriden with the
      SASL_PATH enviornment variable (or at compile time).



      callbacks
      specifies the base callbacks for all client connections. See
      the sasl_callbacks man page for more information.



      appname
      is the name of the application. It is used for where to find the
      default configuration file.




  • RETURN VALUE

      sasl_server_init returns an integer which corresponds to one of the
      SASL error codes. SASL_OK is the only one that indicates success. All
      others indicate errors and should either be handled or the
      authentication session should be quit.
