24 The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface checks a plaintext password. The
25 \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface is used for protocols that had a login method
26 before SASL, for example, the \fBLOGIN\fR command in IMAP. The password is
27 checked with the \fBpwcheck_method\fR.
30 The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface is a server interface. You cannot use it
31 to check passwords from a client.
34 The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface checks the posible repositories until it
35 succeeds or there are no more repositories. If
36 \fBsasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t\fR is registered, \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR
40 Use the \fBpwcheck_method\fR SASL option to specify which \fBpwcheck\fR methods
44 The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface supports the transition of passwords if
45 the SASL option \fBauto_transition\fR is on.
48 If \fIuser\fR is \fINULL\fR, check is plaintext passwords are enabled.
56 The \fBsasl_conn_t\fR for which the request is being made
65 Plaintext password to check
74 The length of \fIpass\fR
83 User to query in current \fBuser_domain\fR
92 The length of username.
98 \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error
107 Indicates that the authentication is complete
112 All other error codes indicate an error situation that must be handled, or the
113 authentication session should be quit. See \fBsasl_errors\fR(3SASL) for
114 information on SASL error codes.
