NAME

krb524_convert_creds_kdc, krb524_convert_creds_kdc_ccache — converts Kerberos 5 credentials to Kerberos 4 credentials

LIBRARY

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS

#include <krb5.h>

krb5_error_code

krb524_convert_creds_kdc ( krb5_context context , krb5_creds *in_cred , struct credentials *v4creds );

krb5_error_code

krb524_convert_creds_kdc_ccache ( krb5_context context , krb5_ccache ccache , krb5_creds *in_cred , struct credentials *v4creds );

DESCRIPTION

Convert the Kerberos 5 credential to Kerberos 4 credential. This is done by sending them to the 524 service in the KDC.

krb524_convert_creds_kdc () converts the Kerberos 5 credential in in_cred to Kerberos 4 credential that is stored in credentials .

krb524_convert_creds_kdc_ccache () is different from krb524_convert_creds_kdc () in that way that if in_cred doesn’t contain a DES session key, then a new one is fetched from the KDC and stored in the cred cache ccache , and then the KDC is queried to convert the credential.

This interfaces are used to make the migration to Kerberos 5 from Kerberos 4 easier. There are few services that still need Kerberos 4, and this is mainly for compatibility for those services. Some services, like AFS, really have Kerberos 5 supports, but still uses the 524 interface to make the migration easier.
