SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback *callbacks, const char *app‐
name);
DESCRIPTION
Use the sasl_server_init() interface to initialize SASL. You must call
sasl_server_init() before you make a call to sasl_server_start().
sasl_server_init() may be called only once per process. A call to
sasl_server_init() initializes all SASL mechanism drivers, that is, the
authentication mechanisms. The SASL mechanism drivers are usually found
in the /usr/lib/sasl directory.
PARAMETERS
callbacks Specifies the base callbacks for all client connec‐
tions.
appname The name of the application for lower level logging.
For example, the sendmail server calls appname this
way:
sasl_server_init(srvcallbacks, "Sendmail")
RETURN VALUESsasl_server_init() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error
code.
ERRORS
SASL_OK The call to sasl_server_init() was successful.
All other error codes indicate an error situation that must be handled,
or the authentication session should be quit. See sasl_errors(3SASL)
for information on SASL error codes.
