  • SASL_MAXOUTBUF ‐ security layer max output buf unsigned
  • SASL_DEFUSERREALM ‐ server authentication realm used
  • SASL_GETOPTCTX ‐ context for getopt callback
  • SASL_IPLOCALPORT ‐ local address string
  • SASL_IPREMOTEPORT ‐ remote address string
  • SASL_SERVICE ‐ service passed to sasl_*_new
