NAME

       shishi_tkt_transited_policy_checked_p - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       int shishi_tkt_transited_policy_checked_p(Shishi_tkt * tkt);

ARGUMENTS

       Shishi_tkt * tkt
                   input variable with ticket info.

DESCRIPTION

       Determine if ticket has been policy checked for transit.

       The application server is ultimately responsible for accepting or rejecting authentication
       and SHOULD check that only suitably  trusted  KDCs  are  relied  upon  to  authenticate  a
       principal.   The  transited  field  in  the ticket identifies which realms (and thus which
       KDCs) were involved in the authentication process and an application server would normally
       check  this  field.  If  any  of  these are untrusted to authenticate the indicated client
       principal (probably determined by a realm-based policy), the authentication  attempt  MUST
       be  rejected. The presence of trusted KDCs in this list does not provide any guarantee; an
       untrusted KDC may have fabricated the list.

       While the end server ultimately decides whether authentication is valid, the KDC  for  the
       end  server's  realm  MAY apply a realm specific policy for validating the transited field
       and accepting credentials for cross-realm authentication. When the KDC applies such checks
       and  accepts such cross-realm authentication it will set the TRANSITED-POLICY-CHECKED flag
       in the service tickets it issues based on the cross-realm TGT. A client MAY  request  that
       the  KDCs  not check the transited field by setting the DISABLE-TRANSITED-CHECK flag. KDCs
       are encouraged but not required to honor this flag.

       Application servers MUST either  do  the  transited-realm  checks  themselves,  or  reject
       cross-realm tickets without TRANSITED-POLICY- CHECKED set.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns non-0 iff transited-policy-checked flag is set in ticket.
