Description

int sasl_getprop(sasl_conn_t *conn,

    is filled on success. List of properties:

    • SASL_USERNAME ‐ pointer to NUL terminated user name

    • SASL_MAXOUTBUF ‐ security layer max output buf unsigned

    • SASL_DEFUSERREALM ‐ server authentication realm used

    • SASL_GETOPTCTX ‐ context for getopt callback
