sasl_server_init(10


NAME

  sasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initialization


SYNOPSIS

  #include <sasl/sasl.h>

  int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
		       const char *appname);


DESCRIPTION

  sasl_server_init() initializes SASL. It must be called before any calls to
  sasl_server_start, and only once per process.	 This call initializes all
  SASL mechanism drivers (e.g. authentication mechanisms). These are usually
  found in the /usr/lib/sasl2 directory but the directory may be overridden
  with the SASL_PATH environment variable (or at compile time).

  callbacks specifies the base callbacks for all client connections. See the
  sasl_callbacks man page for more information.

  appname is the name of the application. It is used for where to find the
  default configuration file.


RETURN VALUE

  sasl_server_init returns an integer which corresponds to one of the SASL
  error codes. SASL_OK is the only one that indicates success. All others
  indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session
  should be quit.


CONFORMING TO

  RFC 2222
