NAME
       sasl_checkpass - Check a plaintext password

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       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 authen-
       tication  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.
