DESCRIPTION

     Generic Security Service API (GSS-API) version 2, and its C binding, is described in RFC2743
     and RFC2744.  Version 1 (deprecated) of the C binding is described in RFC1509.

     Heimdals GSS-API implementation supports the following mechanisms

        GSS_KRB5_MECHANISM

        GSS_SPNEGO_MECHANISM

     GSS-API have generic name types that all mechanism are supposed to implement (if possible):

        GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME

        GSS_C_NT_MACHINE_UID_NAME

        GSS_C_NT_STRING_UID_NAME

        GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE

        GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS

        GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME

     GSS-API implementations that supports Kerberos 5 have some additional name types:

        GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME

        GSS_KRB5_NT_USER_NAME

        GSS_KRB5_NT_MACHINE_UID_NAME

        GSS_KRB5_NT_STRING_UID_NAME

     In GSS-API, names have two forms, internal names and contiguous string names.

        Internal name and mechanism name

         Internal names are implementation specific representation of a GSS-API name.  Mechanism
         names special form of internal names corresponds to one and only one mechanism.

         In GSS-API an internal name is stored in a gss_name_t.

        Contiguous string name and exported name

         Contiguous string names are gssapi names stored in a OCTET STRING that together with a
         name type identifier (OID) uniquely specifies a gss-name.  A special form of the
         contiguous string name is the exported name that have a OID embedded in the string to
         make it unique.  Exported name have the nametype GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME.

         In GSS-API an contiguous string name is stored in a gss_buffer_t.

         Exported names also have the property that they are specified by the mechanism itself
         and compatible between different GSS-API implementations.

ACCESS CONTROL

     There are two ways of comparing GSS-API names, either comparing two internal names with each
     other or two contiguous string names with either other.

     To compare two internal names with each other, import (if needed) the names with
     gss_import_name() into the GSS-API implementation and the compare the imported name with
     gss_compare_name().

     Importing names can be slow, so when its possible to store exported names in the access
     control list, comparing contiguous string name might be better.

     when comparing contiguous string name, first export them into a GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME name
     with gss_export_name() and then compare with memcmp(3).

     Note that there are might be a difference between the two methods of comparing names.  The
     first (using gss_compare_name()) will compare to (unauthenticated) names are the same.  The
     second will compare if a mechanism will authenticate them as the same principal.

     For example, if gss_import_name() name was used with GSS_C_NO_OID the default syntax is used
     for all mechanism the GSS-API implementation supports.  When compare the imported name of
     GSS_C_NO_OID it may match several mechanism names (MN).

     The resulting name from gss_display_name() must not be used for acccess control.

FUNCTIONS

     gss_display_name() takes the gss name in input_name and puts a printable form in
     output_name_buffer.  output_name_buffer should be freed when done using
     gss_release_buffer().  output_name_type can either be NULL or a pointer to a gss_OID and
     will in the latter case contain the OID type of the name.  The name must only be used for
     printing.  If access control is needed, see section ACCESS CONTROL.

     gss_inquire_context() returns information about the context.  Information is available even
     after the context have expired.  lifetime_rec argument is set to GSS_C_INDEFINITE (don't
     expire) or the number of seconds that the context is still valid.  A value of 0 means that
     the context is expired.  mech_type argument should be considered readonly and must not be
     released.  src_name and dest_name() are both mechanims names and must be released with
     gss_release_name() when no longer used.

     gss_context_time will return the amount of time (in seconds) of the context is still valid.
     If its expired time_rec will be set to 0 and GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED returned.

     gss_sign(), gss_verify(), gss_seal(), and gss_unseal() are part of the GSS-API V1 interface
     and are obsolete.  The functions should not be used for new applications.  They are provided
     so that version 1 applications can link against the library.

EXTENSIONS

     gss_krb5_ccache_name() sets the internal kerberos 5 credential cache name to name.  The old
     name is returned in old_name, and must not be freed.  The data allocated for old_name is
     free upon next call to gss_krb5_ccache_name().  This function is not threadsafe if old_name
     argument is used.

     gss_krb5_copy_ccache() will extract the krb5 credentials that are transferred from the
     initiator to the acceptor when using token delegation in the Kerberos mechanism.  The
     acceptor receives the delegated token in the last argument to gss_accept_sec_context().

     gss_krb5_import_cred() will import the krb5 credentials (both keytab and/or credential
     cache) into gss credential so it can be used withing GSS-API.  The ccache is copied by
     reference and thus shared, so if the credential is destroyed with krb5_cc_destroy, all users
     of thep gss_cred_id_t returned by gss_krb5_import_ccache() will fail.

     gsskrb5_register_acceptor_identity() sets the Kerberos 5 filebased keytab that the acceptor
     will use.  The identifier is the file name.

     gsskrb5_extract_authz_data_from_sec_context() extracts the Kerberos authorizationdata that
     may be stored within the context.  Tha caller must free the returned buffer ad_data with
     gss_release_buffer() upon success.

     gss_krb5_get_tkt_flags() return the ticket flags for the kerberos ticket receive when
     authenticating the initiator.  Only valid on the acceptor context.

     gss_krb5_compat_des3_mic() turns on or off the compatibility with older version of Heimdal
     using des3 get and verify mic, this is way to programmatically set the
     [gssapi]broken_des3_mic and [gssapi]correct_des3_mic flags (see COMPATIBILITY section in
     gssapi(3)).  If the CPP symbol GSS_C_KRB5_COMPAT_DES3_MIC is present,
     gss_krb5_compat_des3_mic() exists.  gss_krb5_compat_des3_mic() will be removed in a later
     version of the GSS-API library.
