krb5_creds, krb5_copy_creds, krb5_copy_creds_contents, krb5_free_creds, krb5_free_cred_contents – Kerberos 5 credential handling functions

LIBRARY SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

#include <krb5.h>

krb5_error_code
krb5_copy_creds(krb5_context context, const krb5_creds *incred, krb5_creds **outcred);

krb5_error_code
krb5_copy_creds_contents(krb5_context context, const krb5_creds *incred, krb5_creds *outcred);

krb5_error_code
krb5_free_creds(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *outcred);

krb5_error_code
krb5_free_cred_contents(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *cred);

krb5_creds holds Kerberos credentials:

typedef struct krb5_creds {
    krb5_principal      client;
    krb5_principal      server;
    krb5_keyblock       session;
    krb5_times          times;
    krb5_data           ticket;
    krb5_data           second_ticket;
    krb5_authdata       authdata;
    krb5_addresses      addresses;
    krb5_ticket_flags   flags;
} krb5_creds;

krb5_copy_creds() makes a copy of incred to outcred. outcred should be freed with krb5_free_creds() by the caller.

krb5_copy_creds_contents() makes a copy of the content of incred to outcreds. outcreds should be freed by the called with krb5_free_creds_contents().

krb5_free_creds() frees the content of the cred structure and the structure itself.

krb5_free_cred_contents() frees the content of the cred structure.
