441 Generic Security Service API (GSS-API) version 2, and its C binding,
446 Version 1 (deprecated) of the C binding is described in
449 Heimdals GSS-API implementation supports the following mechanisms
452 .Li GSS_KRB5_MECHANISM
454 .Li GSS_SPNEGO_MECHANISM
457 GSS-API have generic name types that all mechanism are supposed to
458 implement (if possible):
461 .Li GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME
463 .Li GSS_C_NT_MACHINE_UID_NAME
465 .Li GSS_C_NT_STRING_UID_NAME
467 .Li GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE
469 .Li GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS
471 .Li GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME
474 GSS-API implementations that supports Kerberos 5 have some additional
478 .Li GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME
480 .Li GSS_KRB5_NT_USER_NAME
482 .Li GSS_KRB5_NT_MACHINE_UID_NAME
484 .Li GSS_KRB5_NT_STRING_UID_NAME
487 In GSS-API, names have two forms, internal names and contiguous string
491 .Li Internal name and mechanism name
493 Internal names are implementation specific representation of
496 special form of internal names corresponds to one and only one mechanism.
498 In GSS-API an internal name is stored in a
501 .Li Contiguous string name and exported name
503 Contiguous string names are gssapi names stored in a
505 that together with a name type identifier (OID) uniquely specifies a
507 A special form of the contiguous string name is the exported name that
508 have a OID embedded in the string to make it unique.
509 Exported name have the nametype
510 .Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME .
512 In GSS-API an contiguous string name is stored in a
515 Exported names also have the property that they are specified by the
516 mechanism itself and compatible between different GSS-API
520 There are two ways of comparing GSS-API names, either comparing two
521 internal names with each other or two contiguous string names with
524 To compare two internal names with each other, import (if needed) the
527 into the GSS-API implementation and the compare the imported name with
528 .Fn gss_compare_name .
530 Importing names can be slow, so when its possible to store exported
531 names in the access control list, comparing contiguous string name
534 when comparing contiguous string name, first export them into a
535 .Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME
538 and then compare with
541 Note that there are might be a difference between the two methods of
544 .Fn gss_compare_name )
545 will compare to (unauthenticated) names are the same.
546 The second will compare if a mechanism will authenticate them as the
553 the default syntax is used for all mechanism the GSS-API
554 implementation supports.
555 When compare the imported name of
557 it may match serveral mechanism names (MN).
559 The resulting name from
561 must not be used for acccess control.
564 takes the gss name in
566 and puts a printable form in
567 .Fa output_name_buffer .
568 .Fa output_name_buffer
569 should be freed when done using
570 .Fn gss_release_buffer .
576 and will in the latter case contain the OID type of the name.
577 The name must only be used for printing.
578 If access control is needed, see section
581 .Fn gss_inquire_context
582 returns information about the context.
583 Information is available even after the context have expired.
587 (dont expire) or the number of seconds that the context is still valid.
588 A value of 0 means that the context is expired.
590 argument should be considered readonly and must not be released.
594 are both mechanims names and must be released with
599 will return the amount of time (in seconds) of the context is still
604 .Dv GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
612 are part of the GSS-API V1 interface and are obsolete.
613 The functions should not be used for new applications.
614 They are provided so that version 1 applications can link against the
617 .Fn gss_krb5_ccache_name
618 sets the internal kerberos 5 credential cache name to
620 The old name is returned in
622 and must not be freed.
623 The data allocated for
625 is free upon next call to
626 .Fn gss_krb5_ccache_name .
627 This function is not threadsafe if
631 .Fn gss_krb5_copy_ccache
632 will extract the krb5 credentials that are transferred from the
633 initiator to the acceptor when using token delegation in the Kerberos
635 The acceptor receives the delegated token in the last argument to
636 .Fn gss_accept_sec_context .
638 .Fn gss_krb5_import_cred
639 will import the krb5 credentials (both keytab and/or credential cache)
640 into gss credential so it can be used withing GSS-API.
643 is copied by reference and thus shared, so if the credential is destroyed
645 .Fa krb5_cc_destroy ,
649 .Fn gss_krb5_import_ccache
652 .Fn gsskrb5_register_acceptor_identity
653 sets the Kerberos 5 filebased keytab that the acceptor will use. The
657 .Fn gsskrb5_extract_authz_data_from_sec_context
658 extracts the Kerberos authorizationdata that may be stored within the
660 Tha caller must free the returned buffer
663 .Fn gss_release_buffer
666 .Fn gss_krb5_get_tkt_flags
667 return the ticket flags for the kerberos ticket receive when
668 authenticating the initiator.
669 Only valid on the acceptor context.
671 .Fn gss_krb5_compat_des3_mic
672 turns on or off the compatibility with older version of Heimdal using
673 des3 get and verify mic, this is way to programmatically set the
674 [gssapi]broken_des3_mic and [gssapi]correct_des3_mic flags (see
675 COMPATIBILITY section in
678 .Dv GSS_C_KRB5_COMPAT_DES3_MIC
680 .Fn gss_krb5_compat_des3_mic
682 .Fn gss_krb5_compat_des3_mic
683 will be removed in a later version of the GSS-API library.
