NAME

     sasl_setpass - Check a plaintext password

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sasl/sasl.h>

     int sasl_setpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                      const char *user,
                      const char *pass, unsigned passlen,
                       const char *oldpass, unsigned oldpasslen,
                       unsigned flags)

DESCRIPTION

     sasl_setpass will set passwords in the sasldb,  and  trigger
     the setpass callbacks for all available mechanisms.

     user is the username to set the password for.

     pass and passlen are the password to set and its length

     oldpass and oldpasslen are the old  password  &  its  length
     (and are optional)

     flags    Are    flags    including    SASL_SET_CREATE    and
     SASL_SET_DISABLE  (to  cause  the  creating  of  nonexistent
     accounts and the disabling of an account, respectively)

NOTES

     oldpass and oldpasslen are unused in the Cyrus  SASL  imple-
     mentation,  though  are passed on to any mechanisms that may
     require them.

RETURN VALUE

     Returns SASL_OK on success. SASL error code on failure.
