NAME
       sasl_server_new - Create a new server authentication object



SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_new(const char *service,
                       const char *serverFQDN,
                       const char *user_realm,
                       const char *iplocalport,
                       const char *ipremoteport,
                       const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
                       unsigned flags,
                       sasl_conn_t ** pconn);


DESCRIPTION
       sasl_server_new()  creates  a  new SASL context. This context will be used for all SASL calls for one
       connection. It handles both authentication and integrity/encyption layers after authentication.

       service is the registered name of the service (usually the protocol name) using SASL (e.g. "imap").

       serverFQDN is the fully qualified server domain name.  NULL means use gethostname().  This is  useful
       for multi-homed servers.

       user_realm is the domain of the user agent. This is usually not necessary (NULL is default)

       iplocalport  is the IP and port of the local side of the connection, or NULL.  If iplocalport is NULL
       it will disable mechanisms that require IP address information.  This strings must be in one  of  the
       following      formats:      "a.b.c.d;port"     (IPv4),     "e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l;port"     (IPv6),     or
       "e:f:g:h:i:j:a.b.c.d;port" (IPv6)

       ipremoteport is the IP and port of the remote side of the connection, or NULL (see iplocalport)

       flags are connection flags (see below)

       pconn is a pointer to the conection context allocated by the library. This structure will be used for
       all future SASL calls for this connection.


       Connection Flags

       SASL_SUCCESS_DATA
               The protocol supports a server-last send

       SASL_NEED_PROXY
               Force the use of a mechanism that supports an authorization id that is not the authentication
               id.


RETURN VALUE
       sasl_server_new() returns an integer which corresponds to one of the SASL error codes. SASL_OK is the
       only  one  that  indicates  success.  All  others indicate errors and should either be handled or the
       authentication session should be quit.
