sasl_checkapop(29


NAME

  sasl_checkapop - Check an APOP challenge/response


SYNOPSIS

  #include <sasl/sasl.h>

  int sasl_checkapop(sasl_conn_t *conn,
			 const char *challenge,
			 unsigned challen,
			 const char *response,
			 unsigned resplen);


DESCRIPTION

  sasl_checkapop() will check an APOP challenge/response.  APOP is an
  optional POP3 (RFC 1939) authentication command which uses a shared secret
  (password). The password is stored in the SASL secrets database.  For
  information on the SASL shared secrets database see the System
  Administrators Guide in the doc/ directory of the SASL distribution.

  If called with a NULL challenge, sasl_checkapop() will check to see if the
  APOP mechanism is enabled.


RETURN VALUE

  sasl_checkapop returns an integer which corresponds to one of the following
  codes. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication 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.
