SYNOPSIS
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,

unsigned passlen);
DESCRIPTION
sasl_checkpass(3) *conn,
const char *user,
unsigned userlen,
const char *pass,
unsigned passlen)
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 authentication 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.
