DESCRIPTION

47       This module gives access to the routines of the GSSAPI library, as
48       described in rfc2743 and rfc2744 and implemented by the Kerberos-1.2
49       distribution from MIT.
50
51       Since 0.14 it also compiles and works with Heimdal.  Lacks of Heimdal
52       support are gss_release_oid(), gss_str_to_oid() and fail of some tests.
53       Have a look at the tests in t/ directory too see what tests fail on
54       Heimdal ( the *.t tests are just skipping them at the moment)
55
56       The API presented by this module is a mildly object oriented
57       reinterpretation of the C API, where opaque C structures are Perl
58       objects, but the style of function call has been left mostly untouched.
59       As a result, most routines modify one or more of the parameters passed
60       to them, reflecting the C call-by-reference (or call-by-value-return)
61       semantics.
62
63       All users of this module are therefore strongly advised to localize all
64       usage of these routines to minimize pain if and when the API changes.
65

USAGE

67       This module wraps the GSSAPI C-Bindings. If you are new to GSSAPI it is
68       a good idea to read RFC2743 and RFC2744, the documentation requires you
69       to be familiar with the concept and the wordings of GSSAPI programming.
70
71       the examples directory holds some working examples of usage:
72
73       getcred_hostbased.pl
74           gets a GSSAPI Token for a service specified on commandline.  (like
75           kgetcred on Heimdal or kvno on MIT)
76
77       gss-client.pl
78           a simple GSSAPI TCP client.
79
80       gss-server.pl
81           a simple GSSAPI TCP server.  Use both as templates if you need
82           quickhacking GSSAPI enabeled GSSAPI TCP services.
83
84   GSSAPI::Name
85       GSSAPI internal representation of principalname
86
87       Methods
88
89       import( $gssapinameobj, $servicename, $mechnism_oid );
90           converts stringrepresentation $servicename of service into a GSSAPI
91           internal format and stores it in $gssapiservicename.
92
93           input
94               servicename
95                   Scalar value, like 'HTTP@moerbsen.grolmsnet.lan'.
96
97               mechnism_oid
98                   Chose one of the predefines mechanism OIDs from GSSAPI::OID
99
100           output
101               $gssapinameobj
102                   GSSAPI internal representation of servicename
103
104           return value
105               returns GSSAPI::Status Object
106
107           Example:
108                    $status = GSSAPI::Name->import( $gssapinameobj,
109                                                    'HTTP@moerbsen.grolmsnet.lan',
110                                                    GSSAPI::OID::gss_nt_hostbased_service);
111
112       display($tname);
113           converts the GSSAPI internal format into a humanreadable string and
114           stores it into $tname.
115
116           output
117               humanreadable string will be stored into $tname.
118
119           return value
120               returns GSSAPI::Status Object
121
122           Example:
123                    my $tname;
124                    $status = $gssapinameobj->display($tname);
125                    die 'hmm, error...' if($status->major != GSS_S_COMPLETE );
126                    print "\n  Name is $tname";
127
128       compare( nameobj, ret)
129           Wraps gss_compare_name().
130
131           Input
132               nameobj
133                   the 2nd GSSAPI::Name to be compared to
134
135           output
136               ret
137                   value is non-zero
138                       names refer to same entity
139
140                   value is zero
141                       names refer to different entities.
142
143           return value
144               returns GSSAPI::Status Object
