NAME

sasl_getprop - get a SASL property

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl   [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_getprop(sasl_conn_t *conn, int propnum, const void **pvalue);

DESCRIPTION

Use the sasl_getprop() interface to get the value of a SASL property. For example, after successful authentication, a server may want to know the authorization name. Similarly, a client application may want to know the strength of the security level that was negotiated.

PARAMETERS

conn

The SASL connection context.

propnum

The identifier for the property requested.

pvalue

The value of the SASL property. This value is filled in upon a successful call. Possible SASL values include:

SASL_USERNAME

A pointer to a null-terminated user name.

SASL_SSF

The security layer security strength factor. If the value of SASL_SSF is 0, a call to sasl_encode() or sasl_decode() is unnecessary.

SASL_MAXOUTBUF

The maximum size of output buffer returned by the selected security mechanism

SASL_DEFUSERREALM

Server authentication realm used.

SASL_GETOPTCTX

The context for getopt() callback.

SASL_IPLOCALPORT

Local address string.

SASL_IPREMOTEPORT

Remote address string.

SASL_SERVICE

Service passed on to sasl_*_new().

SASL_SERVERFQDN

Server FQDN passed on to sasl_*_new().

SASL_AUTHSOURCE

Name of authentication source last used. Useful for failed authentication tracking.

SASL_MECHNAME

Active mechanism name, if any.

SASL_PLUGERR

Similar to sasl_errdetail().

ERRORS

SASL_OK

The call to sasl_getprop() was successful.
