sasl_callbacks - Man Page

#include <sasl/sasl.h>

sasl_callbacks  are  used  when the application needs some information from the application. Common reasons are  getting for  getting  usernames and passwords. A client MUST specify   what   callbacks    they    support    in    the sasl_client_init(3)/sasl_server_init(3) or   sasl_client_new(3)/sasl_server_new(3) calls. If an authentication  mechanism  needs  a  callback that  the application does not state it supports it cannot be used.

If a callback has an id parameter that should  be  checked to make sure you are giving the appropriate value.

If  an application is using the client side of the library functions to  handle  the  callbacks  are  not  necessary. Instead  the  application  may  deal  with  callbacks  via SASL_INTERACT’s.  See  sasl_client_start(3)/sasl_client_step(3)  for  more information.

SASL  callback  functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl_errors(3) for a complete list.  SASL_OK  typically  indicates success.
