Detailed Description

Function Documentation

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_add_oid_set_member (OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_OID member_oid, gss_OID_set * oid_set)

Add a oid to the oid set, function does not make a copy of the oid, so the pointer to member_oid needs to be stable for the whole time oid_set is used.

If there is a duplicate member of the oid, the new member is not added to to the set.

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code.
    member_oid member to add to the oid set
    oid_set oid set to add the member too

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_canonicalize_name (OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_name_t input_name, const gss_OID mech_type, gss_name_t * output_name)

gss_canonicalize_name takes a Internal Name (IN) and converts in into a mechanism specific Mechanism Name (MN).

The input name may multiple name, or generic name types.

If the input_name if of the GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME, and the Kerberos mechanism is specified, the resulting MN type is a GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME.

For more information about internalVSmechname.

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code.
    input_name name to covert, unchanged by gss_canonicalize_name().
    mech_type the type to convert Name too.
    output_name the resulting type, release with gss_release_name(), independent of input_name.

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_import_name (OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_buffer_t input_name_buffer, const gss_OID input_name_type, gss_name_t * output_name)

Import a name internal or mechanism name

Type of name and their format:

•   GSS_C_NO_OID

•   GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME

•   GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE

•   GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME

•   GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS

•   GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME

For more information about internalVSmechname.

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code
    input_name_buffer import name buffer
    input_name_type type of the import name buffer
    output_name the resulting type, release with gss_release_name(), independent of input_name

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_init_sec_context (OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_cred_id_t initiator_cred_handle, gss_ctx_id_t * context_handle, const gss_name_t target_name, const gss_OID input_mech_type, OM_uint32 req_flags, OM_uint32 time_req, const gss_channel_bindings_t input_chan_bindings, const gss_buffer_t input_token, gss_OID * actual_mech_type, gss_buffer_t output_token, OM_uint32 * ret_flags, OM_uint32 * time_rec)

As the initiator build a context with an acceptor.

Returns in the major

•   GSS_S_COMPLETE - if the context if build

•   GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED - if the caller needs to continue another round of gss_i nit_sec_context

•   error code - any other error code

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code.
    initiator_cred_handle the credential to use when building the context, if GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL is passed, the default credential for the mechanism will be used.
    context_handle a pointer to a context handle, will be returned as long as there is not an error.
    target_name the target name of acceptor, created using gss_import_name(). The name is can be of any name types the mechanism supports, check supported name types with gss_inquire_names_for_mech().
    input_mech_type mechanism type to use, if GSS_C_NO_OID is used, Kerberos (GSS_KRB5_MECHANISM) will be tried. Other available mechanism are listed in the GSS-API mechanisms section.
    req_flags flags using when building the context, see Context creation flags
    time_req time requested this context should be valid in seconds, common used value is GSS_C_INDEFINITE
    input_chan_bindings Channel bindings used, if not exepected otherwise, used GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS
    input_token input token sent from the acceptor, for the initial packet the buffer of { NULL, 0 } should be used.
    actual_mech_type the actual mech used, MUST NOT be freed since it pointing to static memory.
    output_token if there is an output token, regardless of complete, continue_needed, or error it should be sent to the acceptor
    ret_flags return what flags was negotitated, caller should check if they are accetable. For example, if GSS_C_MUTUAL_FLAG was negotiated with the acceptor or not.
    time_rec amount of time this context is valid for

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION int GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_oid_equal (const gss_OID a, const gss_OID b)

Compare two GSS-API OIDs with each other.

GSS_C_NO_OID matches nothing, not even it-self.

Parameters:
    a first oid to compare
    b second oid to compare

Returns:
    non-zero when both oid are the same OID, zero when they are not the same.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_release_cred (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_cred_id_t * cred_handle)

Release a credentials

Its ok to release the GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL/NULL credential, it will return a GSS_S_COMPLETE error code. On return cred_handle is set ot GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL.

Example:

 gss_cred_id_t cred = GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL;
 major = gss_release_cred(&minor, &cred);

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status return code, mech specific
    cred_handle a pointer to the credential too release

Returns:
    an gssapi error code

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_release_iov_buffer (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)

Free all buffer allocated by gss_wrap_iov() or gss_unwrap_iov() by looking at the GSS_IOV_BUFFER_TYPE_FLAG_ALLOCATED flag.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_release_name (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_name_t * input_name)

Free a name

import_name can point to NULL or be NULL, or a pointer to a gss_name_t structure. If it was a pointer to gss_name_t, the pointer will be set to NULL on success and failure.

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code
    input_name name to free

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_unwrap_iov (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int * conf_state, gss_qop_t * qop_state, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)

Decrypt or verifies the signature on the data.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_wrap_iov (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, int * conf_state, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)

Encrypts or sign the data.

This is a more complicated version of gss_wrap(), it allows the caller to use AEAD data (signed header/trailer) and allow greater controll over where the encrypted data is placed.

The maximum packet size is gss_context_stream_sizes.max_msg_size.

The caller needs provide the folloing buffers when using in conf_req_flag=1 mode:

•   HEADER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.header) { DATA or SIGN_ONLY } (optional, zero or more) PADDING (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.blocksize, if zero padding is zero, can be omitted) TRAILER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer)

•   on DCE-RPC mode, the caller can skip PADDING and TRAILER if the DATA elements is padded to a block bountry and header is of at least size gss_context_stream_sizes.header + gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer.

HEADER, PADDING, TRAILER will be shrunken to the size required to transmit any of them too large.

To generate gss_wrap() compatible packets, use: HEADER | DATA | PADDING | TRAILER

When used in conf_req_flag=0,

•   HEADER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.header) { DATA or SIGN_ONLY } (optional, zero or more) PADDING (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.blocksize, if zero padding is zero, can be omitted) TRAILER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer)

The input sizes of HEADER, PADDING and TRAILER can be fetched using gss_wrap_iov_length() or gss_context_query_attributes().

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_wrap_iov_length (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, int * conf_state, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)

Update the length fields in iov buffer for the types:

•   GSS_IOV_BUFFER_TYPE_HEADER

•   GSS_IOV_BUFFER_TYPE_PADDING

•   GSS_IOV_BUFFER_TYPE_TRAILER

Consider using gss_context_query_attributes() to fetch the data instead.
