NAME
CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID - authorisation identity (identity to act as)

SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID, char *authzid);

DESCRIPTION
Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the null-terminated authorisation identity (authzid) for the transfer. Only applicable to the PLAIN SASL authentication mechanism where it is optional. When not specified only the authentication identity (authcid) as specified by the username will be sent to the server, along with the password. The server will derive a authzid from the authcid when not provided, which it will then uses internally.
