NAME
     sasl_authorize_t - the SASL authorization callback

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

     int sasl_authorize_t(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *requested_user,
          unsigned alen, const char* auth_identity, unsigned rlen,
          const char *def_realm, unsigned urlen, struct propctx *propctx);


DESCRIPTION
     sasl_authorize_t() is  a  typedef  function  prototype  that
     defines     the     interface     associated     with    the
     SASL_CB_PROXY_POLICY callback.


     Use the sasl_authorize_t() interface to  check  whether  the
     authorized   user   auth_identity   can   act  as  the  user
     requested_user. For example,  the  user  root  may  want  to
     authenticate  with  root's credentials but as the user tmar-
     tin, with all of tmartin's  rights,  not  root's.  A  server
     application  should be very careful when it determines which
     users may proxy as other users.

PARAMETERS
     conn              The SASL connection context.


     requested_user    The identity  or  username  to  authorize.
                       requested_user is null-terminated.


     rlen              The length of requested_user.


     auth_identity     The identity associated with  the  secret.
                       auth_identity is null-terminated.


     alen              The length of auth_identity.


     default_realm     The  default  user  realm  as  passed   to
                       sasl_server_new(3SASL).


     ulren             The length of the default realm
