DESCRIPTION

     krb5_get_creds() fetches credentials specified by opt by first looking in the ccache, and
     then it doesn't exists, fetch the credential from the KDC using the krbtgts in ccache.  The
     credential is returned in out_creds and should be freed using the function
     krb5_free_creds().

     The structure krb5_get_creds_opt controls the behavior of krb5_get_creds().  The structure
     is opaque to consumers that can set the content of the structure with accessors functions.
     All accessor functions make copies of the data that is passed into accessor functions, so
     external consumers free the memory before calling krb5_get_creds().

     The structure krb5_get_creds_opt is allocated with krb5_get_creds_opt_alloc() and freed with
     krb5_get_creds_opt_free().  The free function also frees the content of the structure set by
     the accessor functions.

     krb5_get_creds_opt_add_options() and krb5_get_creds_opt_set_options() adds and sets options
     to the krb5_get_creds_opt structure .  The possible options to set are
     KRB5_GC_CACHED     Only check the ccache, don't got out on network to fetch credential.
     KRB5_GC_USER_USER  request a user to user ticket.  This options doesn't store the resulting
                        user to user credential in the ccache.
     KRB5_GC_EXPIRED_OK
                        returns the credential even if it is expired, default behavior is trying
                        to refetch the credential from the KDC.
     KRB5_GC_NO_STORE   Do not store the resulting credentials in the ccache.

     krb5_get_creds_opt_set_enctype() sets the preferred encryption type of the application.
     Don't set this unless you have to since if there is no match in the KDC, the function call
     will fail.

     krb5_get_creds_opt_set_impersonate() sets the principal to impersonate., Returns a ticket
     that have the impersonation principal as a client and the requestor as the service. Note
     that the requested principal have to be the same as the client principal in the krbtgt.

     krb5_get_creds_opt_set_ticket() sets the extra ticket used in user-to-user or contrained
     delegation use case.
