gsasl_server_ca...ck_cram_md5_set(3)

📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 NAME 💖

gsasl_server_callback_cram_md5_set — bestie, it's an API function 🫶

Okay so quick vibe check: this is a page from the gsasl manual, and it's all about ONE little function that tells your server how to check if somebody is actually who they say they are, using CRAM-MD5. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_server_callback_cram_md5_set(Gsasl * ctx,
Gsasl_server_callback_cram_md5 cb);

That's it. That's the whole thing. Two arguments, returns nothing, void energy. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl * ctx — your libgsasl handle. The main character of every gsasl story, honestly. 👑
  • Gsasl_server_callback_cram_md5 cb — the callback function. Like, the function you're handing over so the server knows what to do. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea: you call this to specify the callback function that the server should use when it's deciding if a user is authenticated using a CRAM-MD5 challenge and response. That's the whole job. 🍓

And if you ever need it back later? No worries, you can grab it again with gsasl_server_callback_cram_md5_get(). Iconic symmetry, fr fr. 💜

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

Bestie. Listen. This one is old. 😭

This function is part of the old callback interface. The new interface does things differently: you use gsasl_callback_set() to set the application callback, and then you use gsasl_callback() or gsasl_property_get() to invoke the callback for certain properties.

So like, it still exists, it still works, but it's giving vintage. If you're writing new code, the new interface is the moment. 🌈
