sasl_callbacks - Cyrus SASL documentation
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
sasl_callbacks are used when the application needs some information from
the application. Common reasons are getting for getting usernames and
passwords. A client MUST specify what callbacks they support in the
sasl_client_init(3)/
sasl_server_init(3) or
sasl_client_new(3)/
sasl_server_new(3) calls. If an
authentication mechanism needs a callback that the application does not state
it supports it cannot be used.
If a callback has an id parameter that should be checked to make sure you are
giving the appropriate value.
If an application is using the client side of the library functions to handle
the callbacks are not necessary. Instead the application may deal with
callbacks via SASL_INTERACT’s. See
sasl_client_start(3)/
sasl_client_step(3) for more information.
