gsasl_server_callback_cipher_set(3)

📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

✨ NAME ✨

gsasl_server_callback_cipher_set — bestie, this is an API function 💅

It lives in the gsasl manual (that's the manual name, mwah 🎀), so if you ever see gsasl_server_callback_cipher_set(3) floating around, that's just this page being iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_server_callback_cipher_set(Gsasl * ctx,
Gsasl_server_callback_cipher cb);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • Gsasl * ctx — your libgsasl handle. it's giving "the thing you pass to literally everything" ✨
  • Gsasl_server_callback_cipher cb — the callback function itself. yes queen, hand it over 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so listen. You're on the server side, right? And you need to tell the client which cipher suites you support. That's literally what this does — it specifies the callback function to use in the server to inform the client of the cipher suites supported. no cap. 🔥

Two things you genuinely cannot skip: the DES and 3DES ciphers must be supported for interoperability. that's not a vibe, that's a requirement 💀

Also, it's currently used by the DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. Just that one, for now.

And the cute part? You can get this function back later using gsasl_server_callback_cipher_get(). set it, get it, slay 🎀

⚠️ DEPRECATED ⚠️

not me having to break this to you 😭 this function is part of the old callback interface. it's the legacy era, the vintage collection, the archive.

The new interface uses gsasl_callback_set() to set the application callback, and uses gsasl_callback() or gsasl_property_get() to invoke the callback for certain properties. that's the glow-up. use those instead, bestie 💅
