The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.
sasl_dispose – Dispose of a SASL connection object Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> void sasl_dispose(sasl_conn_t **pconn); Description sasl_dispose is called when a SASL connection object is no longer needed. Note that this is usually when the protocol session is done NOT when the authentication is done since a security layer may have been negotiated. Return Value No…

sasl_client_new – Create a new client authentication object Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_client_new(const char *service, const char *serverFQDN, const char *iplocalport, const char *ipremoteport, const sasl_callback_t *prompt_supp, unsigned flags, sasl_conn_t **pconn); Description sasl_client_new() creates a new SASL context. This context will be used for all SASL calls for one connection. It handles both authentication and…
sasl_client_init – SASL client authentication initialization Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_client_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks); Description sasl_client_init() initializes SASL. It must be called before any calls to sasl_client_start. This call initializes all SASL client 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….
sasl_checkpass – Check a plaintext password Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *user, unsigned userlen, const char *pass, unsigned passlen); Description sasl_checkpass() will check a plaintext password. This is needed for protocols that had a login method before SASL (for example the LOGIN command in IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheck_method…
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…
sasl_chalprompt_t – Realm Acquisition Callback Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_chalprompt_t(void *context, int id, const char *challenge, const char *prompt, const char *defresult, const char **result, unsigned *len) Description sasl_chalprompt_t is used to prompt for input in response to a server challenge. context context from the callback record id callback id (either SASL_CB_ECHOPROMPT or SASL_CB_NOECHOPROMPT) challenge…
sasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t – Plaintext Password Verification Callback Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_canon_user_t(sasl_conn_t *conn, void *context, const char *user, unsigned ulen, unsigned flags, const char *user_realm, char *out_user, unsigned out_umax, unsigned *out_ulen) Description sasl_canon_user_t Is the callback for an application-supplied user canonicalization function. This function is subject to the requirements that all user canonicalization functions are: It…
sasl_callbacks – How to work with SASL callbacks Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> Description sasl_callbacks are used when the application needs some information from the application. Common reasons are getting for getting usernames and passwords. A client MUST specify what callbacks they support in the sasl_client/server_init() or sasl_client/server_new() calls. If an authentication mechanism needs a callback that…
sasl_auxprop_request – Request Auxiliary Properties from SASL Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_auxprop_request(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char ** propnames) Description sasl_auxprop_request will request that the SASL library obtain properties from any auxiliary property plugins that might be installed (such as the user’s home directory from an LDAP server for example). Such lookup occurs just after username canonicalization…
sasl_auxprop_getctx – Acquire an auxiliary property context Synopsis #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_auxprop_getctx(sasl_conn_t *conn) Description sasl_auxprop_getctx will return an auxiliary property context for the given sasl_conn_t on which the functions described in sasl_auxprop(3) can operate. conn the sasl_conn_t for which the request is being made. Return Value Returns a pointer the the context on success. Returns…
sasl_auxprop – How to work with SASL auxiliary properties Synopsis #include <sasl/prop.h> struct propctx *prop_new(unsigned estimate) int prop_dup(struct propctx *src_ctx, struct propctx *dst_ctx) int prop_request(struct propctx *ctx, const char **names) const struct propval *prop_get(struct propctx *ctx) int prop_getnames(struct propctx *ctx, const char **names, struct porpval *vals) void prop_clear(struct propctx *ctx, int requests) void prop_erase(struct propctx…
