sasl_authorize_t(3)
NAME
  sasl_authorize_t - The SASL authorization callback

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sasl.h>

  int sasl_authorize_t(
	  void *context,
	  const char *auth_identity,
	  const char *requested_user,
	  const char **user,
	  const char **errstr);

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 jdoe (with all of
  jdoe's rights). 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_errors(3)
  for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.

CONFORMING TO
  RFC 2222
