Description
intsasl_server_new(constchar*service,constchar*serverFQDN,constchar*user_realm,constchar*iplocalport,constchar*ipremoteport,constsasl_callback_t*callbacks,unsignedflags,sasl_conn_t**pconn);sasl_server_new() creates a new SASL context. This context will be used for all SASL calls for
one connection. It handles both authentication and integrity/encryption layers after
authentication.
Parameters
• service – is the registered name of the service (usually the protocol name) using SASL
(e.g. “imap”).
• serverFQDN – is the fully qualified server domain name. NULL means use
gethostname(). This is useful for multi-homed servers.
• user_realm – is the domain of the user agent. This is usually not necessary (NULL is
default)
• iplocalport –
is the IP and port of the local side of the connection, or NULL. If iplocalport is
NULL it will disable mechanisms that require IP address information. This strings must
be in one of the following formats:
• ”a.b.c.d;port” (IPv4),
• ”e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l;port” (IPv6), or
• ”e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d;port” (IPv6)
• ipremoteport – is the IP and port of the remote side of the connection, or NULL (see
iplocalport)
• flags – are connection flags (see below)
• pconn – is a pointer to the connection context allocated by the library. This structure
will be used for all future SASL calls for this connection.
Connectionflags
Flags that may be passed to sasl_server_new():
• SASL_SUCCESS_DATA: The protocol supports a server‐last send
•
SASL_NEED_PROXY:Forcetheuseofamechanismthatsupportsan
authorization id that is not the authentication id.

Return Value
SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_OK
indicates success.
Other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session should be
quit.
