SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
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);
DESCRIPTIONsasl_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 tmartin, with all of tmartin's rights, not root's. A server appli‐
cation should be very careful when it determines which users may proxy
as other users.
