Hi all,
I've been recently working on combining kinit and aklog. The idea being that
you run one program to authenicate to both Kerberos and AFS in the same
operation.
My solution is very simple, I just call the two top-level aklog functions
just before kinit exits, and I link to both the AFS and Kerberos libraries.
What I have implemented essentially works, but has some very annoying link
errors due to naming conflicts between AFS and Kerberos. Both aklog and kinit
need to link to the libdes.a library; both AFS and Kerberos have one. The
naming conflicts are the function names des_pcbc_encrypt and des_ecb_encrypt.
Both AFS and Kerberos have these two functions. In the case of this particular
application, only the Kerberos version is needed, but you still need to link
to the two object modules in AFS because they contain other functions which
are
referenced. By linking to the kerberos libraries before the AFS libraries, I
make sure that these two functions are called from kerberos rather than from
AFS.
I know that some other people have implemented this. What I am wondering is
how did you tackle this particular problem? Do you just ignore it, or is
there
some sort of elegant solution or hack to get around it?
Thanks,
Rob
