DESCRIPTION
The functions documented in this manual page document the functions that
facilitates the exchange between a Kerberos client and server. They are
the core functions used in the authentication exchange between the client
and the server.
The krb5_mk_req and krb5_mk_req_extended creates the Kerberos message
KRB_AP_REQ that is sent from the client to the server as the first packet
in a client/server exchange. The result that should be sent to server is
stored in outbuf.
auth_context should be allocated with krb5_auth_con_init() or NULL passed
in, in that case, it will be allocated and freed internally.
The input data in_data will have a checksum calculated over it and
checksum will be transported in the message to the server.
ap_req_options can be set to one or more of the following flags:
AP_OPTS_USE_SESSION_KEY
Use the session key when creating the request, used for user to
user authentication.
AP_OPTS_MUTUAL_REQUIRED
Mark the request as mutual authenticate required so that the
receiver returns a mutual authentication packet.
The krb5_rd_req read the AP_REQ in inbuf and verify and extract the
content. If server is specified, that server will be fetched from the
keytab and used unconditionally. If server is NULL, the keytab will be
search for a matching principal.
The keytab argument specifies what keytab to search for receiving
principals. The arguments ap_req_options and ticket returns the content.
When the AS-REQ is a user to user request, neither of keytab or principal
are used, instead krb5_rd_req() expects the session key to be set in
auth_context.
The krb5_verify_ap_req and krb5_build_ap_req both constructs and verify
the AP_REQ message, should not be used by external code.
