The credential is returned in .Fa out_creds and should be freed using the function .Fn krb5_free_creds . .Pp Valid flags to pass into .Fa options argument are: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "KRB5_GC_EXPIRED_OK" -compact .It KRB5_GC_CACHED Only check the .Fa ccache , don't got out on network to fetch credential. .It KRB5_GC_USER_USER Request a user to user ticket. This option doesn't store the resulting user to user credential in the .Fa ccache . .It KRB5_GC_EXPIRED_OK returns the credential even if it is expired, default behavior is trying to refetch the credential from the KDC. .El .Pp .Fa Flags are KDCOptions, note the caller must fill in the bit-field and not use the integer associated structure. .Pp .Fn krb5_get_credentials works the same way as .Fn krb5_get_credentials_with_flags except that the .Fa flags field is missing. .Pp .Fn 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. .Pp .Fn krb5_get_renewed_creds renews a credential given by .Fa in_tkt_service (if .Dv NULL the default .Li krbtgt ) using the credential cache .Fa ccache . The result is stored in .Fa creds and should be freed using .Fa krb5_free_creds . .Sh EXAMPLES Here is a example function that get a credential from a credential cache .Fa id or the KDC and returns it to the caller. .Bd -literal #include 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; } .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr krb5 3 , .Xr krb5_get_forwarded_creds 3 , .Xr krb5.conf 5
