sasl_server_userdb_setpass_t - Cyrus SASL documentation

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


                                 void *context,


                                 const char *user,


                                 const char *pass,


                                 unsigned passlen,


                                 struct propctx *propctx,


                                 unsigned flags)

sasl_server_userdb_setpass_t is used to store or change a plaintext password in the callback‐supplier’s user database.
  • conn – is the SASL connection
  • context – context from the callback record
  • user – NUL terminated user name with user@realm syntax
  • pass – password to check (may not be NUL terminated)
  • passlen – length of the password
  • propctx – Auxilliary Properties (not stored)
  • flags – These are the same flags that are passed to sasl_setpass(3), and are documented on that man page.



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 be handled.
