#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_getsimple_t(void *context,


                    int id,


                    const char ** result,


                    unsigned * len);

sasl_getsimple_t is used to retrieve simple things from the application. In practice this is authentication name, authorization name, and realm.
  • context – SASL connection context
  • id –

    indicates which value is being requested. Possible values include:

  • SASL_CB_USER ‐ Client user identity to login as
  • SASL_CB_AUTHNAME ‐ Client authentication name
  • SASL_CB_LANGUAGE ‐ Comma‐separated list of RFC 1766 languages
  • SASL_CB_CNONCE ‐ Client‐nonce (for testing mostly)

  • result – value of the item requested
  • len – lenth of the result



SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.
