NAME¶
sasl_server_step - Cyrus SASL documentation
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,
const char *clientin,
unsigned clientinlen,
const char ** serverout,
unsigned * serveroutlen);
DESCRIPTION¶
- int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,
- const char *clientin,
- unsigned clientinlen,
- const char ** serverout,
- unsigned * serveroutlen);
- sasl_server_step() performs a step in the authentication negotiation. It returns SASL_OK if the whole negotiation is successful and SASL_CONTINUE if this step is ok but at least one more step is needed.
- conn – is the SASL connection context
- clientin – is the data given by the client (decoded if the protocol encodes requests sent over the wire)
- clientinlen – is the length of clientin
- serverout – set by the library and should be sent to the client.
- serveroutlen – length of serverout.
RETURN VALUE¶
SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_CONTINUE indicates success and that there are more steps needed in the authentication. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication is complete.
Other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session should be quit.
