int sasl_setpass(sasl_conn_t *conn, 
                      const char *user, 
                      const char *pass, unsigned passlen,
                  const char *oldpass, unsigned oldpasslen,
                  unsigned flags)

 

DESCRIPTION

sasl_setpass will set passwords in the sasldb, and trigger the setpass callbacks for all available mechanisms.

user is the username to set the password for.

pass and passlen are the password to set and its length

oldpass and oldpasslen are the old password & its length (and are optional)

oldpass and oldpasslen are unused in the Cyrus SASL implementation, though are passed on to any mechanisms that may require them.
