NAME

4     mech, qop — GSS-API Mechanism and QOP files
5

SYNOPSIS

7     /etc/gss/mech /etc/gss/qop
8

DESCRIPTION

10     The /etc/gss/mech file contains a list of installed GSS-API security
11     mechanisms.  Each line of the file either contains a comment if the first
12     character is '#' or it contains five fields with the following meanings:
13
14     Name          The name of this GSS-API mechanism.
15
16     Object identifier
17                   The OID for this mechanism.
18
19     Library       A shared library containing the implementation of this
20                   mechanism.
21
22     Kernel module (optional)
23                   A kernel module containing the implementation of this mech‐
24                   anism (not yet supported in FreeBSD).
25
26     Library options (optional)
27                   Optionsal parameters interpreted by the mechanism. Library
28                   options must be enclosed in brackets ([ ]) to differentiate
29                   them from the optional kernel module entry.
30
31     The /etc/gss/qop file contains a list of Quality of Protection values for
32     use with GSS-API.  Each line of the file either contains a comment if the
33     first character is '#' or it contains three fields with the following
34     meanings:
35
36     QOP string    The name of this Quality of Protection algorithm.
37
38     QOP value     The numeric value used to select this algorithm for use
39                   with GSS-API functions such as gss_get_mic(3).
40
41     Mechanism name
42                   The GSS-API mechanism name that corresponds to this algo‐
43                   rithm.
