NAME

       sasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initialization

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
                            const char *appname);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_server_init() initializes SASL. It must be called before any calls
       to sasl_server_start, and only once per process.  This call initializes
       all  SASL mechanism drivers (e.g. authentication mechanisms). These are
       usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl2 directory but the directory may  be
       overridden  with  the  SASL_PATH  environment  variable  (or at compile
       time).

       callbacks specifies the base callbacks for all client connections.  See
       the sasl_callbacks man page for more information.

       appname  is  the  name of the application. It is used for where to find
       the default configuration file.

RETURN VALUE

       sasl_server_init 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.
