OpenBSD Programmer's Manual
KRB524_CONVERT_CREDS_KDC(3)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 diffrent 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.
