DESCRIPTION

     The krb5_auth_context structure holds all context related to an authenti-
     cated connection, in a similar way to krb5_context that holds the context
     for the thread or process.  krb5_auth_context is used by various func-
     tions that are directly related to authentication between the
     server/client. Example of data that this structure contains are various
     flags, addresses of client and server, port numbers, keyblocks (and sub-
     keys), sequence numbers, replay cache, and checksum-type.

     krb5_auth_con_init() allocates and initializes the krb5_auth_context
     structure. Default values can be changed with
     krb5_auth_con_setcksumtype() and krb5_auth_con_setflags().  The
     auth_context structure must be freed by krb5_auth_con_free().

     krb5_auth_con_getflags(), krb5_auth_con_setflags(),
     krb5_auth_con_addflags() and krb5_auth_con_removeflags() gets and modi-
     fies the flags for a krb5_auth_context structure. Possible flags to set
     are:

     KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_DO_SEQUENCE
             Generate and check sequence-number on each packet.

     KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_DO_TIME
             Check timestamp on incoming packets.

     KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_RET_SEQUENCE, KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_RET_TIME
             Return sequence numbers and time stamps in the outdata parame-
             ters.

     KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_CLEAR_FORWARDED_CRED
             will force krb5_get_forwarded_creds() and krb5_fwd_tgt_creds() to
             create unencrypted ) ENCTYPE_NULL) credentials.  This is for use
             with old MIT server and JAVA based servers as they can't handle
             encrypted KRB-CRED.  Note that sending such KRB-CRED is clear
             exposes crypto keys and tickets and is insecure, make sure the
             packet is encrypted in the protocol.  krb5_rd_cred(3),
             krb5_rd_priv(3), krb5_rd_safe(3), krb5_mk_priv(3) and
             krb5_mk_safe(3).  Setting this flag requires that parameter to be
             passed to these functions.

             The flags KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_DO_TIME also modifies the behavior
             the function krb5_get_forwarded_creds() by removing the timestamp
             in the forward credential message, this have backward compatibil-
             ity problems since not all versions of the heimdal supports time-
             less credentional messages.  Is very useful since it always the
             sender of the message to cache forward message and thus avoiding
             a round trip to the KDC for each time a credential is forwarded.
             The same functionality can be obtained by using address-less
             tickets.

     krb5_auth_con_setaddrs(), krb5_auth_con_setaddrs_from_fd() and
     krb5_auth_con_getaddrs() gets and sets the addresses that are checked
     when a packet is received.  It is mandatory to set an address for the
     remote host. If the local address is not set, it iss deduced from the
     underlaying operating system.  krb5_auth_con_getaddrs() will call
     krb5_free_address() on any address that is passed in local_addr or
     remote_addr.  krb5_auth_con_setaddr() allows passing in a NULL pointer as
     local_addr and remote_addr, in that case it will just not set that
     address.

     krb5_auth_con_setaddrs_from_fd() fetches the addresses from a file
     descriptor.

     krb5_auth_con_genaddrs() fetches the address information from the given
     file descriptor fd depending on the bitmap argument flags.

     Possible values on flags are:

     KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_GENERATE_LOCAL_ADDR
             fetches the local address from fd.

     KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_GENERATE_REMOTE_ADDR
             fetches the remote address from fd.

     krb5_auth_con_setkey(), krb5_auth_con_setuserkey() and
     krb5_auth_con_getkey() gets and sets the key used for this auth context.
     The keyblock returned by krb5_auth_con_getkey() should be freed with
     krb5_free_keyblock().  The keyblock send into krb5_auth_con_setkey() is
     copied into the krb5_auth_context, and thus no special handling is
     needed.  NULL is not a valid keyblock to krb5_auth_con_setkey().

     krb5_auth_con_setuserkey() is only useful when doing user to user authen-
     tication.  krb5_auth_con_setkey() is equivalent to
     krb5_auth_con_setuserkey().

     krb5_auth_con_getlocalsubkey(), krb5_auth_con_setlocalsubkey(),
     krb5_auth_con_getremotesubkey() and krb5_auth_con_setremotesubkey() gets
     and sets the keyblock for the local and remote subkey.  The keyblock
     returned by krb5_auth_con_getlocalsubkey() and
     krb5_auth_con_getremotesubkey() must be freed with krb5_free_keyblock().

     krb5_auth_setcksumtype() and krb5_auth_getcksumtype() sets and gets the
     checksum type that should be used for this connection.

     krb5_auth_con_generatelocalsubkey() generates a local subkey that have
     the same encryption type as key.

     krb5_auth_getremoteseqnumber() krb5_auth_setremoteseqnumber(),
     krb5_auth_getlocalseqnumber() and krb5_auth_setlocalseqnumber() gets and
     sets the sequence-number for the local and remote sequence-number
     counter.

     krb5_auth_setkeytype() and krb5_auth_getkeytype() gets and gets the key-
     type of the keyblock in krb5_auth_context.

     krb5_auth_con_getauthenticator() Retrieves the authenticator that was
     used during mutual authentication. The authenticator returned should be
     freed by calling krb5_free_authenticator().

     krb5_auth_con_getrcache() and krb5_auth_con_setrcache() gets and sets the
     replay-cache.

     krb5_auth_con_initivector() allocates memory for and zeros the initial
     vector in the auth_context keyblock.

     krb5_auth_con_setivector() sets the i_vector portion of auth_context to
     ivector.

     krb5_free_authenticator() free the content of authenticator and
     authenticator itself.
