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 authenti-
     cation 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.
