sasl_getsecret_t

- the SASL callback function for secrets (passwords)

Synopsis

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl   [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>

int sasl_getsecret_t(sasl_conn_t *conn, void *context,
     int id, sasl_secret_t **psecret);

Description

Use the sasl_getsecret_t() function to retrieve the secret from the application. Allocate a sasl_secret_t to length sizeof(sasl_secret_t)+<length of secret>. sasl_secret_t has two fields of len which contain the length of secret in bytes and the data contained in secret. The secret string does not need to be null-terminated.

Parameters

conn

The connection context

context

The context from the callback structure

id

The callback ID

psecret

To cancel, set the value of psecret to NULL. Otherwise, set the value to the password structure. The structure must persist until the next call to sasl_getsecret_t() in the same connection. Middleware erases password data when it is done with it.

Return Values

Like other SASL callback functions, sasl_getsecret_t() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code. See <sasl.h> for a complete list of SASL error codes.

Errors
