unsigned passlen)

sasl_checkpass  will check a plaintext password. This is needed for protocols that had a login method  before  SASL (for  example  the LOGIN command in IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheck_method. See sasl_callbacks(3)  for information on how this parameter is set.

sasl_checkpass returns an integer which corresponds to one of the following codes. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication  is  complete.  All  other  return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or the  authentication session  should  be quit.  See sasl_errors(3) for meanings of return codes.
