sasl_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 Administrators Guide.

If  called  with  a  NULL challenge, sasl_checkapop() will check to see if the APOP mechanism is enabled.

sasl_checkapop returns an integer which corresponds to one of the following codes. SASL_OK 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.
