.TH SASL_GETSECRET_T 3SASL "Oct 27, 2003"
.SH NAME
sasl_getsecret_t \- the SASL callback function for secrets (passwords)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-lsasl\fR   [ \fIlibrary\fR ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>

\fBint\fR \fBsasl_getsecret_t\fR(\fBsasl_conn_t *\fR\fIconn\fR, \fBvoid *\fR\fIcontext\fR,
     \fBint\fR \fIid\fR, \fBsasl_secret_t **\fR\fIpsecret\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Use the \fBsasl_getsecret_t()\fR function to retrieve the secret from the
application. Allocate a \fBsasl_secret_t\fR to length
\fBsizeof(sasl_secret_t)+<length of secret>\fR. \fBsasl_secret_t\fR has two
fields of \fIlen\fR which contain the length of \fIsecret\fR in bytes and the
data contained in \fIsecret\fR. The \fIsecret\fR string does not need to be
null-terminated.
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIconn\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 11n
The connection context

\fB\fIpsecret\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 11n
To cancel, set the value of \fIpsecret\fR to \fINULL\fR. Otherwise, set the
value to the password structure. The structure must persist until the next call
to \fBsasl_getsecret_t()\fR in the same connection. Middleware erases password
data when it is done with it.

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Like other SASL callback functions, \fBsasl_getsecret_t()\fR returns an integer
that corresponds to a SASL error code. See <\fBsasl.h\fR> for a complete list
of SASL error codes.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
