DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     These functions get application defaults from the appdefaults section of
     the krb5.conf(5) configuration file. These defaults can be specified per
     application, and/or per realm.

     These values will be looked for in krb5.conf(5), in order of descending
     importance.

           [appdefaults]
                   appname = {
                           realm = {
                                   option = value
                           }
                   }
                   appname = {
                           option = value
                   }
                   realm = {
                           option = value
                   }
                   option = value
     appname is the name of the application, and realm is the realm name. If
     the realm is omitted it will not be used for resolving values.  def_val
     is the value to return if no value is found in krb5.conf(5).
