DESCRIPTIONsasl_checkapop() will check an APOP challenge/response.
APOP is an optional POP3 (RFC 1939) authentication command
which uses a shared secret (password). The password is
stored in the SASL secrets database. For information on
the SASL shared secrets database see the System Adminis-
trators Guide in the doc/ directory of the SASL distribu-
tion.
If called with a NULL challenge, sasl_checkapop() will
check to see if the APOP mechanism is enabled.
RETURN VALUEsasl_checkapop returns an integer which corresponds to one
of the following codes. SASL_OK indicates that the authen-
tication 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.
