### SASL Bind Plug-in Initialization and Handling in C

Source: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/svd/10.0.4/index_topic=examples-example-sasl-bind-plug-in

This C code defines a SASL bind plug-in. The `sampleInit` function registers the plug-in and the `sampleBind` function handles bind requests. It supports the 'SAMPLE_BIND' SASL mechanism by comparing provided credentials against the 'userpassword' attribute in the directory. Dependencies include the `slapi-plugin.h` header.

#include <string.h>
#include <strings.h>
