NAME
       saslauthorizet - The SASL authorization callback



SYNOPSIS
       ##iinncclluuddee <>


       iinntt ssaassllaauutthhoorriizzeett((vvooiidd *context,,
                           ccoonnsstt cchhaarr *requesteduser,, uunnssiiggnneedd alen,,
                           ccoonnsstt cchhaarr *authidentity,, uunnssiiggnneedd alen,,

DESCRIPTION
       ssaassllaauutthhoorriizzeett   is   used  to  check  whether  the  authorized  user
       authidentity may act as the user requesteduser.  For example the user
       root  may wish to authenticate with his credentials but act as the user
       tmartin (with all of tmartin's rights not roots). A server  application
       should  be  very careful, and probably err on the side of caution, when
       determining which users may proxy as whom.



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