RFC 2744 says:
{quote}
actual_mech_type OID, modify, optional
Actual mechanism used. The OID returned via
this parameter will be a pointer to static
storage that should be treated as read-only;
In particular the application should not attempt
to free it. Specify NULL if not required.
{quote}
The current code is just fine. I'd rather pass {{NULL}} than modifying
{{&ctx->gss_mech}}.
You should check what crappy/old version of MIT Kerberos is delivered with
Solaris. Commercial vendors tend to provide relics. HP, for instance, ships MIT
Kerberos 1.3.5 (!) with HP-UX. The first this I did what to compile a recent
version of MIT Kerberos myself. Moreover, consider that anything with DES is
inheritly unsecure, rather use RC4 or better AES128/256. Serf with GSS-API
support runs very good on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD. I have worked with Lieven on
that. You should probably consider replacing {{mod_auth_kerb}} with something
newer like [mod_spnego|https://github.com/michael-o/mod_spnego] or
[mod_auth_gssapi|https://github.com/modauthgssapi/mod_auth_gssapi].

> I have Apache httpd 2.2.27 + mod_auth_kerb-5.4 on a RHEL 6 host and
> subversion 1.8.15 + serf-1.3.8 built on a Solaris 9/10 host. I would
> like to use subversion on the Solaris hosts to authenticate against
> the Kerberos server on the RHEL 6 host. I built serf to link against
> GSSAPI on Solaris (so -DSERF_HAVE_GSSAPI was defined when building
> serf and serf is linked against -ssl). Subversion appears to be
> hanging:
> $ svn info http://shu.il.thewrittenword.com
> [hang]
> On the server, access_log shows the following ad infinitum:
> 10.191.57.54 - - [31/Dec/2015:08:50:11 +0000] "OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1" 401 -

> I also built subversion 1.8.15 on a Solaris 11 host and it behaves

> Older versions of subversion built against neon with GSSAPI support on
> Solaris 9/10 worked fine. I am only seeing a problem now where serf

> gss_init_sec_context() on Solaris 11 and RHEL 6 returns 1 whereas on
> Solaris 9/10 it returns 0. However, gss_init_sec_context() in
> subversion+neon on Solaris 10 returns 1. No idea why the behavior is
> different but I think this is the cause.
