# sasl\_getsecret\_t(3)

The SASL callback for secrets (passwords)

## NAME

sasl\_getsecret\_t - The SASL callback for secrets (passwords)

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <sasl/sasl.h>

int sasl_getsecret_t(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                     void *context,
		          int id,
		          sasl_secret_t ** psecret);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**sasl\_getsecret\_t** is used to retrieve the secret from the application. A sasl\_secret\_t should be allocated to length sizeof(sasl\_secret\_t)+\<length of secret\>. It has two fields *len* which is the length of the secret in bytes and *data* which contains the secret itself (does not need to be null terminated).

## RETURN VALUE

SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL\_OK indicates success.
