KRB5_VERIFY_INIT_CREDS(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
NAME
krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_init,
krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_set_ap_req_nofail, krb5_verify_init_creds -
verifies a credential cache is correct by using a local keytab
LIBRARY
Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)
SYNOPSIS
#include <krb5.h>
struct krb5_verify_init_creds_opt;
void
krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_init(krb5_verify_init_creds_opt *options);
void
krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_set_ap_req_nofail(krb5_verify_init_creds_opt *options,
int ap_req_nofail);
krb5_error_code
krb5_verify_init_creds(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *creds,
krb5_principal ap_req_server, krb5_ccache *ccache,
krb5_verify_init_creds_opt *options);
DESCRIPTION
The krb5_verify_init_creds function verifies the initial tickets with the
local keytab to make sure the response of the KDC was spoof-ed.
krb5_verify_init_creds will use principal ap_req_server from the local
keytab, if NULL is passed in, the code will guess the local hostname and
use that to form host/hostname/GUESSED-REALM-FOR-HOSTNAME. creds is the
credential that krb5_verify_init_creds should verify. If ccache is given
krb5_verify_init_creds() stores all credentials it fetched from the KDC
there, otherwise it will use a memory credential cache that is destroyed
when done.
krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_init() cleans the the structure, must be used
before trying to pass it in to krb5_verify_init_creds().
krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_set_ap_req_nofail() controls controls the
behavior if ap_req_server doesn't exists in the local keytab or in the
KDC's database, if it's true, the error will be ignored. Note that this
use is possible insecure.
