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.
