NAMEsasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initializa-
tion
SYNOPSIS
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
const char *appname);
DESCRIPTIONsasl_server_init() initializes SASL. It must be called
before any calls to sasl_server_start, and only once per
process. This call initializes all SASL mechanism drivers
(e.g. authentication mechanisms). These are usually found
in the /usr/lib/sasl2 directory but the directory may be
overriden with the SASL_PATH enviornment variable (or at
compile time).
callbacks specifies the base callbacks for all client con-
nections. See the sasl_callbacks man page for more infor-
mation.
appname is the name of the application. It is used for
where to find the default configuration file.
RETURN VALUEsasl_server_init returns an integer which corresponds to
one of the SASL error 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.
