DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     A keytab name is on the form type:residual.  The residual part is specific
 to each keytab-type.

     When a keytab-name is resolved, the type is matched with an internal list
     of keytab types. If there is no matching keytab type, the default keytab
     is used. The current default type is file.  The default value can be
     changed in the configuration file /etc/krb5.conf by setting the variable
     [defaults]default_keytab_name.

     The keytab types that are implemented in Heimdal are:

     file    store the keytab in a file, the type's name is KEYFILE.  The
             residual part is a filename.

     keyfile
             store the keytab in a AFS keyfile (usually /usr/afs/etc/KeyFile),
             the type's name is AFSKEYFILE.  The residual part is a filename.

     krb4    the keytab is a Kerberos 4 srvtab that is on-the-fly converted to
             a keytab. The type's name is krb4.  The residual part is a filename.


     memory  The keytab is stored in a memory segment. This allows sensitive
             and/or temporary data not to be stored on disk. The type's name
             is MEMORY.  There are no residual part, the only pointer back to
             the keytab is the id returned by krb5_kt_resolve().

     krb5_keytab_entry holds all data for an entry in a keytab file, like
     principal name, key-type, key, key-version number, etc.  krb5_kt_cursor
     holds the current position that is used when iterating through a keytab
     entry with krb5_kt_start_seq_get(), krb5_kt_next_entry(), and
     krb5_kt_end_seq_get().

     krb5_kt_ops contains the different operations that can be done to a
     keytab. This structure is normally only used when doing a new keytab-type
     implementation.

     krb5_kt_resolve() is the equivalent of an open(2) on keytab. Resolve the
     keytab name in name into a keytab in id.  Returns 0 or an error. The
     opposite of krb5_kt_resolve() is krb5_kt_close().  krb5_kt_close() frees
     all resources allocated to the keytab.

     krb5_kt_default() sets the argument id to the default keytab.  Returns 0
     or an error.

     krb5_kt_default_name() copy the name of the default keytab into name.
     Return 0 or KRB5_CONFIG_NOTENUFSPACE if namesize is too short.

     krb5_kt_add_entry() Add a new entry to the keytab id.  KRB5_KT_NOWRITE is
     returned if the keytab is a readonly keytab.

     krb5_kt_compare() compares the passed in entry against principal, vno,
     and enctype.  Any of principal, vno or enctype might be 0 which acts as a
     wildcard. Return TRUE if they compare the same, FALSE otherwise.

     krb5_kt_copy_entry_contents() copies the contents of in into out.
     Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_get_name() retrieves the name of the keytab keytab into name,
     namesize.  Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_get_type() retrieves the type of the keytab keytab and store the
     prefix/name for type of the keytab into prefix, prefixsize.  The prefix
     will have the maximum length of KRB5_KT_PREFIX_MAX_LEN (including terminating
 NUL).  Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_free_entry() frees the contents of entry.

     krb5_kt_start_seq_get() sets cursor to point at the beginning of id.
     Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_next_entry() gets the next entry from id pointed to by cursor and
     advance the cursor.  Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_end_seq_get() releases all resources associated with cursor.

     krb5_kt_get_entry() retrieves the keytab entry for principal, kvno,
     enctype into entry from the keytab id.  Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_read_service_key() reads the key identified by (principal, vno,
     enctype) from the keytab in keyprocarg (the default if == NULL) into
     *key.  Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_remove_entry() removes the entry entry from the keytab id.
     Returns 0 or an error.

     krb5_kt_register() registers a new keytab type ops.  Returns 0 or an
     error.

EXAMPLE    [Toc]    [Back]

     This is a minimalistic version of ktutil.

     int
     main (int argc, char **argv)
     {
         krb5_context context;
         krb5_keytab keytab;
         krb5_kt_cursor cursor;
         krb5_keytab_entry entry;
         krb5_error_code ret;
         char *principal;

         if (krb5_init_context (&context) != 0)
             errx(1, "krb5_context");

         ret = krb5_kt_default (context, &keytab);
         if (ret)
             krb5_err(context, 1, ret, "krb5_kt_default");

         ret = krb5_kt_start_seq_get(context, keytab, &cursor);
         if (ret)
             krb5_err(context, 1, ret, "krb5_kt_start_seq_get");
         while((ret = krb5_kt_next_entry(context, keytab, &entry, &cursor)) == 0){
             krb5_unparse_name_short(context, entry.principal, &principal);
             printf("principal: %s\n", principal);
             free(principal);
             krb5_kt_free_entry(context, &entry);
         }
         ret = krb5_kt_end_seq_get(context, keytab, &cursor);
         if (ret)
             krb5_err(context, 1, ret, "krb5_kt_end_seq_get");
         krb5_free_context(context);
         return 0;
     }
