I've been asked to integrate Kerberos (via the GSS-API) into an application. Poking around the MIT Kerberos distribution I found /athena/auth/krb5/src/appl/gss-sample. It wants a service name. What's a service name? I presume it's referring to ftp, telnet, etc. What's the syntax? Does the Kerberos server need to be configured for these services before the sample will work?
Regardless of what I use I get the following error message: GSS-API error acquiring credentials: Miscellaneous failure GSS-API error acquiring credentials: No such file or directory It appears as if the GSS-API call generally maps to the Kerberos gss_acquire_cred() API. My test program passes null for the 8th parameter (service_name) and it works fine. What gives? retval = krb5_get_init_creds_password(context, &creds, client, "testpass", NULL, 0, opts.starttime, opts.service_name, &options); Many thanks in advance, _______________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
