  • NAME
      sasl_server_new - Create a new server authentication object

  • SYNOPSIS 
      
 #include <sasl/sasl.h>

 int sasl_server_new(const char  *service , 
  			 const char  *serverFQDN ,    			 const char  *user_realm ,    			 const char  *iplocalport ,    			 const char  *ipremoteport ,    			 const sasl_callback_t  *callbacks ,    			 unsigned  flags ,    			 sasl_conn_t **  pconn );
  • DESCRIPTION

      sasl_server_new() creates a new SASL context. This context will be used for all SASL
      calls for one connection. It handles both authentication and
      integrity/encyption layers after authentication.
      service
       is the registered name of the service (usually the protocol name) using SASL (e.g. "imap").
      serverFQDN
       is the fully qualified server domain name.  NULL means use gethostname().  This is useful for multi-homed servers.
      user_realm
       is the domain of the user agent. This is usually not necessary (NULL is default)
      iplocalport
       is the IP and port of the local side of the connection, or NULL.  If
      iplocalport is NULL it will disable mechanisms that require IP address
      information.  This strings must be in one of the following formats:
      "a.b.c.d;port" (IPv4), "e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l;port" (IPv6),
      or "e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d;port" (IPv6)
      ipremoteport
       is the IP and port of the remote side of the connection, or NULL (see
      iplocalport)
      flags
       are connection flags (see below)
      pconn
       is a pointer to the conection context allocated by the library. This
      structure will be used for all future SASL calls for this connection.

      Connection Flags
      SASL_SUCCESS_DATA
      The protocol supports a server-last send
      SASL_NEED_PROXY
      Force the use of a mechanism that supports an authorization id that is
      not the authentication id.

  • RETURN VALUE

      sasl_server_new() 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.
