SASL_SERVER_START(3) Cyrus SASL SASL_SERVER_START(3) NAME sasl_server_start - Cyrus SASL documentation SYNOPSIS #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_server_start(sasl_conn_t * conn, const char * mech, const char * clientin, unsigned clientinlen, const char ** serverout, unsigned * serveroutlen); DESCRIPTION int sasl_server_start(sasl_conn_t * conn, const char * mech, const char * clientin, unsigned * clientinlen, const char ** serverout, unsigned * serveroutlen); sasl_server_start() begins the authentication with the mecha- nism specified with mech. This fails if the mechanism is not supported. Parameters • conn is the SASL connection context • mech is the mechanism name that the client requested • clientin is the client initial response, NULL if the protocol lacks support for clientsendfirst or if the other end did not have an initial send. Note that no initial client send is distinct from an initial send of a null string, and the protocol MUST account for this difference. • clientinlen is the length of initial response • serverout is created by the plugin library. It is the initial server response to send to the client. This is allocated/freed by the library and it is the job of the client to send it over the network to the server. Also protocol specific encoding (such as base64 encoding) must needs to be done by the server. • serveroutlen is set to the length of initial server challenge RETURN VALUE SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_OK is returned if the authentication is com- plete and the user is authenticated. SASL_CONTINUE is returned if one or more steps are still required in the authentication. All other return values indicate errors and should be handled or the authentication session should be quit.
