+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface checks a plaintext password. The
+\fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface is used for protocols that had a login method
+before SASL, for example, the \fBLOGIN\fR command in IMAP. The password is
+checked with the \fBpwcheck_method\fR.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface is a server interface. You cannot use it
+to check passwords from a client.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface checks the posible repositories until it
+succeeds or there are no more repositories. If
+\fBsasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t\fR is registered, \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR
+tries it first.
+.sp
+.LP
+Use the \fBpwcheck_method\fR SASL option to specify which \fBpwcheck\fR methods
+to use.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBsasl_checkpass()\fR interface supports the transition of passwords if
+the SASL option \fBauto_transition\fR is on.
+.sp
+.LP
+If \fIuser\fR is \fINULL\fR, check is plaintext passwords are enabled.
