sasl_checkapop - check an APOP challenge or response

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl   [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_checkapop(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *challenge,


     unsigned challen, const char *response, unsigned resplen);

The sasl_checkapop() interface checks an APOP challenge or response. APOP is an option POP3 authentication command that uses a shared secret password. See RFC 1939.

If sasl_checkapop() is called with a NULL challenge, sasl_checkapop() will check to see if the APOP mechanism is enabled.

conn

The sasl_conn_t for which the request is being made

challenge

The challenge sent to the client

challen

The length of challenge

response

The client response

resplens

The length of response

sasl_checkapop() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.

SASL_OK

Indicates that the authentication is complete

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.
