NAME

     sasl_authorize_t - The SASL authorization callback

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sasl/sasl.h>

     int sasl_authorize_t(void *context,
                         const char *requested_user, unsigned alen,
                         const char *auth_identity, unsigned alen,
                         const char *def_realm, unsigned urlen,
                         struct propctx *propctx)

DESCRIPTION

     sasl_authorize_t is used to  check  whether  the  authorized
     user  auth_identity  may act as the user requested_user. For
     example the user root may  wish  to  authenticate  with  his
     credentials  but  act  as  the  user  tmartin  (with  all of
     tmartin's rights not roots). A server application should  be
     very  careful, and probably err on the side of caution, when
     determining which users may proxy as whom.

RETURN VALUE

     SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See
     sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.
