NAME
       sasl_server_new - Create a new server authentication object



SYNOPSIS
       #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
       sasl_server_new() creates a new SASL context. This context will be used
       for all SASL calls for one connection. It handles both authentication
       and integrity/encryption layers after authentication.

       service is the registered name of the service (usually the protocol
       name) using SASL (e.g. "imap").

       serverFQDN is the fully qualified server domain name.  NULL means use
       gethostname().  This is useful for multi-homed servers.

       user_realm is the domain of the user agent. This is usually not
       necessary (NULL is default)

       iplocalport is the IP and port of the local side of the connection, or
       NULL.  If iplocalport is NULL it will disable mechanisms that require
       IP address information.  This strings must be in one of the following
       formats: "a.b.c.d;port" (IPv4), "e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l;port" (IPv6), or
       "e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d;port" (IPv6)

       ipremoteport is the IP and port of the remote side of the connection,
       or NULL (see iplocalport)

       flags are connection flags (see below)

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

       Connection Flags

       SASL_SUCCESS_DATA
               The protocol supports a server-last send

       SASL_NEED_PROXY
               Force the use of a mechanism that supports an authorization id
               that is not the authentication id.


RETURN VALUE
       sasl_server_new() returns an integer which corresponds to one of the
       SASL error codes. SASL_OK is the only one that indicates success. All
       others indicate errors and should either be handled or the
       authentication session should be quit.
