SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

sasl_server_init() initializes SASL. It must be called before any calls to sasl_server_start. This call initializes all SASL mechanism drivers (e.g. authentication mechanisms). These are usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl directory but the directory may be overriden with the SASL_PATH enviornment variable. The callbacks parameter 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 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.
