krb5_string_to_key, krb5_string_to_key_data, krb5_string_to_key_data_salt,

       The string to key functions convert a string to a kerberos key.

       krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque() is the function that does all the work, the rest of  the  functions
       are just wrappers around krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque() that calls it with default values.

       krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque()  transforms  the  password  with the given salt-string salt and the
       opaque, encryption type specific parameter opaque to a encryption key key according to the string to  key
       function associated with enctype.

       The key should be freed with krb5_free_keyblock_contents().

       If  one  of  the functions that doesn't take a krb5_salt as it argument krb5_get_pw_salt() is used to get
       the salt value.

       krb5_get_pw_salt() get the default password salt for a principal, use krb5_free_salt() to free  the  salt
       when done.

       krb5_free_salt() frees the content of salt.
