\fBsasl_checkpass\fP  will check a plaintext password. This is
needed for protocols that had a login method  before  SASL
(for  example  the LOGIN command in IMAP). The password is
checked with the pwcheck_method. See sasl_callbacks(3)  for
information on how this parameter is set.

.SH RETURN VALUE
.sp
sasl_checkpass returns an integer which corresponds to one
of the following codes. \fBSASL_OK\fP indicates that the authentication  is  complete.  All  other  return codes indicate
errors and should either be handled or the  authentication
session  should  be quit.  See sasl_errors(3) for meanings
of return codes.
