SASL_SERVER_NEW 3SASL "Oct 14, 2003"
NAME
sasl_server_new - create a new server authentication object
SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>

int sasl_server_new(const char *service, const char *serverFQDN,
 const char *user_realm, const char *iplocalport,
 const char *ipremoteport, const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
 unsigned flags, sasl_conn_t **pconn);
DESCRIPTION

Use the sasl_server_new() interface to create a new SASL context. This context will be used for all SASL calls for one connection. The new SASL context handles both authentication and integrity or encryption layers after authentication.

PARAMETERS
service

The registered name of the service that uses SASL. The registered name is usually the protocol name, for example, IMAP.

serverFQDN

The fully-qualified server domain name. If the value of serverFQDN is NULL, use gethostname(3C). The serverFQDN parameter is useful for multi-homed servers.

user_realm

The domain of the user agent. The user_realm is usually not necessary. The default value of user_realm is NULL.

iplocalport

The IP address and port of the local side of the connection. The value of iplocalport may be NULL. If iplocalport is NULL, mechanisms that require IP address information are disabled. The iplocalport string must be in one of the following formats:

a.b.c.d:port (IPv4)

[e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l]:port (IPv6)

[e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d]:port (IPv6)

The following older formats are also supported:

a.b.c.d;port (IPv4)

e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l;port (IPv6)

e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d;port (IPv6)

ipremoteport

The IP address and port of the remote side of the connection. The value of ipremoteport may be NULL. See iplocalport.

callbacks

Callbacks, for example: authorization, lang, and new getopt context.

flags

Usage flags. For servers, the flags SASL_NEED_PROXY and SASL_SUCCESS_DATA are available.

pconn

A pointer to the connection context allocated by the library. This structure will be used for all future SASL calls for this connection.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS
SASL_OK

The call to sasl_server_new() 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.
