  #include <sasl/sasl.h>

  int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,

			    unsigned clientinlen,
			    const char ** serverout,
			    unsigned * serveroutlen);

DESCRIPTION
  sasl_server_step() performs a step in the authentication negotiation. It
  returns SASL_OK if the whole negotiation is successful and SASL_CONTINUE if
  this step is ok but at least one more step is needed.

  conn is the SASL connection context

  clientin is the data given by the client (decoded if the protocol encodes
  requests sent over the wire) clientinlen is the length of clientin

  serverout and serveroutlen are set by the library and should be sent to the
  client.

RETURN VALUE
  sasl_server_step returns an integer which corresponds to one of the SASL
  error codes. SASL_CONTINUE indicates success and that there are more steps
  needed in the authentication. 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.
