NAME
       sasl_checkpass - Check a plaintext password

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                        const char *user,
                        unsigned userlen,
                        const char *pass,
                        unsigned passlen);


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


RETURN VALUE
       sasl_checkpass returns an integer which corresponds to one of the
       following codes. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication is complete.
       All other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or
       the authentication session should be quit.  See sasl_errors(3) for
       meanings of return codes.
