Contents
Description
krb5_get_credentials_with_flags() get credentials specified by in_creds->server and in_creds->client (the
rest of the in_creds structure is ignored) by first looking in the ccache and if doesn't exists or is
expired, fetch the credential from the KDC using the krbtgt in ccache. The credential is returned in
out_creds and should be freed using the function krb5_free_creds().
Valid flags to pass into options argument are:
KRB5_GC_CACHED Only check the ccache, don't got out on network to fetch credential.
KRB5_GC_USER_USER Request a user to user ticket. This option doesn't store the resulting user to user
credential in the ccache.
KRB5_GC_EXPIRED_OK returns the credential even if it is expired, default behavior is trying to refetch
the credential from the KDC.
Flags are KDCOptions, note the caller must fill in the bit-field and not use the integer associated
structure.
krb5_get_credentials() works the same way as krb5_get_credentials_with_flags() except that the flags
field is missing.
krb5_get_kdc_cred() does the same as the functions above, but the caller must fill in all the information
andits closer to the wire protocol.
krb5_get_renewed_creds() renews a credential given by in_tkt_service (if NULL the default krbtgt) using
the credential cache ccache. The result is stored in creds and should be freed using krb5_free_creds.
Examples
Here is a example function that get a credential from a credential cache id or the KDC and returns it to
the caller.
#include <krb5.h>
int
getcred(krb5_context context, krb5_ccache id, krb5_creds **creds)
{
krb5_error_code ret;
krb5_creds in;
ret = krb5_parse_name(context, "client@EXAMPLE.COM",
&in.client);
if (ret)
krb5_err(context, 1, ret, "krb5_parse_name");
ret = krb5_parse_name(context, "host/server.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM",
&in.server);
if (ret)
krb5_err(context, 1, ret, "krb5_parse_name");
ret = krb5_get_credentials(context, 0, id, &in, creds);
if (ret)
krb5_err(context, 1, ret, "krb5_get_credentials");
return 0;
}
