C Prototype

krb5_error_code krb5_auth_con_init(
        krb5_context        context,
        krb5_auth_context   *auth_context );

Arguments

context (input/output) 

The context structure.

auth_context (output)  

A per connection context.

Description

This routine initializes the auth_context. The auth_context contains all data pertinent to the various authentication routines.

The default flags for the context are set to enable the use of the replay cache (krb5_auth_context_do_time) but no sequence numbers. The function krb5_auth_con_setflags allows the flags to be changed.

The default checksum type is set to CKSUMTYPE_RSA_MD4_DES. This may be changed with krb5_auth_con_setcksumtype.

The auth_context structure should be freed with krb5_auth_con_free.

Return Values

This routine returns the following KRB5 status code:

0

Successful completion.



krb5_auth_con_getsendsubkey — Retrieve the send_subkey keyblock from auth_context
  		 


krb5_auth_con_set_checksum_func — Set the checksum function and data structure
