    unsigned clientinlen,
    const char ** serverout,
    unsigned * serveroutlen);
Description¶
- int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,
- const char *clientin,
- unsigned clientinlen,
- const char ** serverout,
- unsigned * serveroutlen);
- sasl_server_step() performs a step in the authentication negotiation. It returns - SASL_OKif the whole negotiation is successful and- SASL_CONTINUEif this step is ok but at least one more step is needed.- Parameters
- conn – is the SASL connection context 
- clientin – is the data given by the client (decoded if the protocol encodes requests sent over the wire) 
- clientinlen – is the length of clientin 
- serverout – set by the library and should be sent to the client. 
- serveroutlen – length of serverout. 
 
 
Return Value¶
SASL  callback  functions should return SASL return codes.
See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_CONTINUE indicates success
and that there are more steps needed in the authentication. SASL_OK
indicates that the authentication is complete.
Other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session should be quit.
