NAME
       sasl_getprop - Get a SASL property



SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>


       int sasl_getprop(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                       int propnum,
                       const void ** pvalue);


DESCRIPTION
       sasl_getprop  gets the value of a SASL property. For example after successful authentication a server may wish
       to know the authorization name. Or a client application may wish to know the strength of the negotiated  secu‐
       rity layer.

       conn is the SASL connection object.  propnum is the identifier for the property requested and pvalue is filled
       in on success. List of properties follows:

       SASL_USERNAME     -  pointer to NUL terminated user name
       SASL_SSF          -  security layer security strength factor,
                            if 0, call to sasl_encode, sasl_decode unnecessary
       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
       SASL_SERVERFQDN   -  serverFQDN passed to sasl_*_new
       SASL_AUTHSOURCE   -  name of auth source last used, useful for failed
                            authentication tracking
       SASL_MECHNAME     -  active mechanism name, if any
       SASL_PLUGERR      -  similar to sasl_errdetail
