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 keytabLIBRARY¶
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, ifNULL
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.
