 SASL_GETSECRET_T 3SASL "Oct 27, 2003"
 NAME
sasl_getsecret_t - the SASL callback function for secrets (passwords)
 SYNOPSIS

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

int sasl_getsecret_t(sasl_conn_t *conn, void *context,
 int id, sasl_secret_t **psecret);


 DESCRIPTION

Use the sasl_getsecret_t() function to retrieve the secret from the
application. Allocate a sasl_secret_t to length
sizeof(sasl_secret_t)+<length of secret>. sasl_secret_t has two
fields of len which contain the length of secret in bytes and the
data contained in secret. The secret string does not need to be
null-terminated.
 PARAMETERS
conn

The connection context


context

The context from the callback structure


id

The callback ID


psecret

To cancel, set the value of psecret to NULL. Otherwise, set the
value to the password structure. The structure must persist until the next call
to sasl_getsecret_t() in the same connection. Middleware erases password
data when it is done with it.


 RETURN VALUES

Like other SASL callback functions, sasl_getsecret_t() returns an integer
that corresponds to a SASL error code. See <sasl.h> for a complete list
of SASL error codes.
 ERRORS
SASL_OK

The call to sasl_getsecret_t() was successful.


See sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.
