Details

Syntax

#include "am_auth.h"
typedef struct am_auth_password_callback_info {
    const char *prompt;
    boolean_t echo_on;
    const char *response; /* password */
} am_auth_password_callback_t;

Members

Pointer to the user's prompt.

Memory Concerns

Memory is allocated by am_auth_login(), and freed by calling am_auth_destroy_auth_context(). Memory for the response must be allocated and freed by the caller.
