.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm krb5_auth_context
structure holds all context related to an authenticated connection, in
a similar way to
.Nm krb5_context
that holds the context for the thread or process.
.Nm krb5_auth_context
is used by various functions 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 subkeys), sequence numbers, replay cache,
and checksum-type.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_init
allocates and initializes the
.Nm krb5_auth_context
structure. Default values can be changed with
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setcksumtype
and
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setflags .
The
.Nm auth_context
structure must be freed by
.Fn krb5_auth_con_free .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getflags ,
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setflags ,
.Fn krb5_auth_con_addflags
and
.Fn krb5_auth_con_removeflags
gets and modifies the flags for a
.Nm krb5_auth_context
structure. Possible flags to set are:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Dv KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_DO_SEQUENCE
Generate and check sequence-number on each packet.
.It Dv KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_DO_TIME
Check timestamp on incoming packets.
.It Dv KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_RET_SEQUENCE , Dv KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_RET_TIME
Return sequence numbers and time stamps in the outdata parameters.
.It Dv KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_CLEAR_FORWARDED_CRED
will force
.Fn krb5_get_forwarded_creds
and
.Fn krb5_fwd_tgt_creds
to create unencrypted )
.Dv ENCTYPE_NULL )
credentials.
This is for use with old MIT server and JAVA based servers as
they can't handle encrypted
.Dv KRB-CRED .
Note that sending such
.Dv KRB-CRED
is clear exposes crypto keys and tickets and is insecure,
make sure the packet is encrypted in the protocol.
.Xr krb5_rd_cred 3 ,
.Xr krb5_rd_priv 3 ,
.Xr krb5_rd_safe 3 ,
.Xr krb5_mk_priv 3
and
.Xr krb5_mk_safe 3 .
Setting this flag requires that parameter to be passed to these
functions.
.Pp
The flags
.Dv KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_DO_TIME
also modifies the behavior the function
.Fn krb5_get_forwarded_creds
by removing the timestamp in the forward credential message, this have
backward compatibility problems since not all versions of the heimdal
supports timeless 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.
.\".It Dv KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_PERMIT_ALL
.El
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setaddrs ,
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setaddrs_from_fd
and
.Fn 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.
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getaddrs
will call
.Fn krb5_free_address
on any address that is passed in
.Fa local_addr
or
.Fa remote_addr .
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setaddr
allows passing in a
.Dv NULL
pointer as
.Fa local_addr
and
.Fa remote_addr ,
in that case it will just not set that address.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setaddrs_from_fd
fetches the addresses from a file descriptor.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_genaddrs
fetches the address information from the given file descriptor
.Fa fd
depending on the bitmap argument
.Fa flags .
.Pp
Possible values on
.Fa flags
are:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Va KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_GENERATE_LOCAL_ADDR
fetches the local address from
.Fa fd .
.It Va KRB5_AUTH_CONTEXT_GENERATE_REMOTE_ADDR
fetches the remote address from
.Fa fd .
.El
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setkey ,
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setuserkey
and
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getkey
gets and sets the key used for this auth context. The keyblock returned by
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getkey
should be freed with
.Fn krb5_free_keyblock .
The keyblock send into
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setkey
is copied into the
.Nm krb5_auth_context ,
and thus no special handling is needed.
.Dv NULL
is not a valid keyblock to
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setkey .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setuserkey
is only useful when doing user to user authentication.
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setkey
is equivalent to
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setuserkey .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getlocalsubkey ,
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setlocalsubkey ,
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getremotesubkey
and
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setremotesubkey
gets and sets the keyblock for the local and remote subkey.
The keyblock returned by
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getlocalsubkey
and
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getremotesubkey
must be freed with
.Fn krb5_free_keyblock .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_setcksumtype
and
.Fn krb5_auth_getcksumtype
sets and gets the checksum type that should be used for this
connection.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_generatelocalsubkey
generates a local subkey that have the same encryption type as
.Fa key .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_getremoteseqnumber
.Fn krb5_auth_setremoteseqnumber ,
.Fn krb5_auth_getlocalseqnumber
and
.Fn krb5_auth_setlocalseqnumber
gets and sets the sequence-number for the local and remote
sequence-number counter.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_setkeytype
and
.Fn krb5_auth_getkeytype
gets and gets the keytype of the keyblock in
.Nm krb5_auth_context .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getauthenticator
Retrieves the authenticator that was used during mutual
authentication. The
.Dv authenticator
returned should be freed by calling
.Fn krb5_free_authenticator .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_getrcache
and
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setrcache
gets and sets the replay-cache.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_initivector
allocates memory for and zeros the initial vector in the
.Fa auth_context
keyblock.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_auth_con_setivector
sets the i_vector portion of
.Fa auth_context
to
.Fa ivector .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_free_authenticator
free the content of
.Fa authenticator
and
.Fa authenticator
itself.
