.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Use the \fBsasl_setpass()\fR interface to set passwords. \fBsasl_setpass()\fR uses the \fBSASL_CB_SERVER_USERDB_SETPASS\fR callback, if one is supplied. Additionally, if any server mechanism plugins supply a setpass callback, the setpass callback would be called. None of the server mechanism plugins currently supply a setpass callback.
