12                        const char *user,
13                        unsigned userlen,

DESCRIPTION

19       sasl_checkpass()  will  check  a plaintext password. This is needed for
20       protocols that had a login method before SASL (for  example  the  LOGIN
21       command  in  IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheck_method See
22       sasl_callbacks(3) for information on how this parameter is set.

RETURN VALUE

26       sasl_checkpass returns an integer which corresponds to one of the  fol‐
27       lowing  codes.  SASL_OK  indicates that the authentication is complete.
28       All other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled  or
29       the  authentication  session  should  be  quit.  See sasl_errors(3) for
30       meanings of return codes.
