45
47 krb5_get_creds() fetches credentials specified by opt by first looking in
48 the ccache, and then it doesn't exists, fetch the credential from the KDC
49 using the krbtgts in ccache. The credential is returned in out_creds and
50 should be freed using the function krb5_free_creds().
51
52 The structure krb5_get_creds_opt controls the behavior of
53 krb5_get_creds(). The structure is opaque to consumers that can set the
54 content of the structure with accessors functions. All accessor functions
55 make copies of the data that is passed into accessor functions, so exter‐
56 nal consumers free the memory before calling krb5_get_creds().
57
58 The structure krb5_get_creds_opt is allocated with
59 krb5_get_creds_opt_alloc() and freed with krb5_get_creds_opt_free(). The
60 free function also frees the content of the structure set by the accessor
61 functions.
62
63 krb5_get_creds_opt_add_options() and krb5_get_creds_opt_set_options()
64 adds and sets options to the krb5_get_creds_opt structure . The possible
65 options to set are
66 KRB5_GC_CACHED Only check the ccache, don't got out on network to
67 fetch credential.
68 KRB5_GC_USER_USER request a user to user ticket. This options doesn't
69 store the resulting user to user credential in the
70 ccache.
71 KRB5_GC_EXPIRED_OK
72 returns the credential even if it is expired, default
73 behavior is trying to refetch the credential from the
74 KDC.
75 KRB5_GC_NO_STORE Do not store the resulting credentials in the ccache.
76
77 krb5_get_creds_opt_set_enctype() sets the preferred encryption type of
78 the application. Don't set this unless you have to since if there is no
79 match in the KDC, the function call will fail.
80
81 krb5_get_creds_opt_set_impersonate() sets the principal to impersonate.,
82 Returns a ticket that have the impersonation principal as a client and
83 the requestor as the service. Note that the requested principal have to
84 be the same as the client principal in the krbtgt.
85
86 krb5_get_creds_opt_set_ticket() sets the extra ticket used in user-to-
87 user or contrained delegation use case.
