NAME
     saslserverinit - SASL server authentication initialization

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl   [ library ... ]
     #include 

     int saslserverinit(const saslcallback *callbacks, const char *appname);


DESCRIPTION
     Use the saslserverinit() interface to initialize SASL. You
     must  call  saslserverinit()  before  you  make  a call to
     saslserverstart(). saslserverinit() may be  called  only
     once  per  process. A call to saslserverinit() initializes
     all SASL mechanism  drivers,  that  is,  the  authentication
     mechanisms.  The SASL mechanism drivers are usually found in
     the /usr/lib/sasl directory.

PARAMETERS
     callbacks    Specifies the base  callbacks  for  all  client
                  connections.


     appname      The name of the  application  for  lower  level
                  logging. For example, the sendmail server calls
                  appname this way:

                    saslserverinit(srvcallbacks, "Sendmail")



RETURN VALUES
     saslserverinit() returns an integer that corresponds to  a
     SASL error code.

ERORS
     SASLOK    The call to saslserverinit() was successful.



     All other error codes indicate an error situation that  must
     be  handled,  or  the authentication session should be quit.
     See saslerrors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.
