sasl_client_new

NAME

SYNOPSIS

#include <sasl.h>

int sasl_client_new(const char *service, 
                        const char *serverFQDN, 
                        const sasl_callback_t *prompt_supp, 
                        int secflags, 
                        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 integrity/encyption layers after authentication.

service is the registered name of the service (usually the protocol name) using SASL (e.g. "imap"). serverFQDN is the fully qualified domain name of the server (e.g. "serverhost.cmu.edu"). prompt_supp is a list of client interactions supported that is unique to this connection. If this parameter is NULL the global callbacks (specified in sasl_client_init) will be used. See sasl_callback for more information. secflags XXX security flags (see above) pconn is the conection context allocated by the library. This structure will be used for all future SASL calls for this connection.

RETURN VALUE

sasl_client_new returns an integer which corresponds to one of the following 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.
