- 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. 
Return value¶
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.
