+ * @section intro Introduction
+ *
+ * Heimdal libkrb5 library is a implementation of the Kerberos
+ * protocol.
+ *
+ * Kerberos is a system for authenticating users and services on a
+ * network. It is built upon the assumption that the network is
+ * ``unsafe''. For example, data sent over the network can be
+ * eavesdropped and altered, and addresses can also be faked.
+ * Therefore they cannot be used for authentication purposes.

+ * @page krb5_introduction Introduction to the Kerberos 5 API
+ * @section api_overview Kerberos 5 API Overview
+ *
+ * All functions are documented in manual pages. This section tries
+ * to give an overview of the major components used in Kerberos
+ * library, and point to where to look for a specific function.
+ *
+ * @subsection intro_krb5_context Kerberos context
+ *
+ * A kerberos context (krb5_context) holds all per thread state. All
+ * global variables that are context specific are stored in this
+ * structure, including default encryption types, credential cache
+ * (for example, a ticket file), and default realms.
+ *
+ * The internals of the structure should never be accessed directly,
+ * functions exist for extracting information.
+ *
+ * See the manual page for krb5_init_context() how to create a context
+ * and module @ref krb5 for more information about the functions.
+ *
+ * @subsection intro_krb5_auth_context Kerberos authentication context
+ *
+ * Kerberos authentication context (krb5_auth_context) holds all
+ * context related to an authenticated connection, in a similar way to
+ * the kerberos context that holds the context for the thread or
+ * process.
+ *
+ * The 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 types.
+ *
+ * @subsection intro_krb5_principal Kerberos principal
+ *
+ * The Kerberos principal is the structure that identifies a user or
+ * service in Kerberos. The structure that holds the principal is the
+ * krb5_principal. There are function to extract the realm and
+ * elements of the principal, but most applications have no reason to
+ * inspect the content of the structure.
+ *
+ * The are several ways to create a principal (with different degree of
+ * portability), and one way to free it.
+ *
+ * See also the page @ref krb5_principal_intro for more information and also
+ * module @ref krb5_principal.
+ *
+ * @subsection intro_krb5_ccache Credential cache
+ *
+ * A credential cache holds the tickets for a user. A given user can
+ * have several credential caches, one for each realm where the user
+ * have the initial tickets (the first krbtgt).
+ *
+ * The credential cache data can be stored internally in different
+ * way, each of them for different proposes. File credential (FILE)
+ * caches and processes based (KCM) caches are for permanent
+ * storage. While memory caches (MEMORY) are local caches to the local
+ * process.
+ *
+ * Caches are opened with krb5_cc_resolve() or created with
+ * krb5_cc_new_unique().
+ *
+ * If the cache needs to be opened again (using krb5_cc_resolve())
+ * krb5_cc_close() will close the handle, but not the remove the
+ * cache. krb5_cc_destroy() will zero out the cache, remove the cache
+ * so it can no longer be referenced.
+ *
+ * See also @ref krb5_ccache_intro and @ref krb5_ccache .
+ *
+ * @subsection intro_krb5_error_code Kerberos errors
+ *
+ * Kerberos errors are based on the com_err library. All error codes are
+ * 32-bit signed numbers, the first 24 bits define what subsystem the
+ * error originates from, and last 8 bits are 255 error codes within the
+ * library. Each error code have fixed string associated with it. For
+ * example, the error-code -1765328383 have the symbolic name
+ * KRB5KDC_ERR_NAME_EXP, and associated error string ``Client's entry in
+ * database has expired''.
+ *
+ * This is a great improvement compared to just getting one of the unix
+ * error-codes back. However, Heimdal have an extention to pass back
+ * customised errors messages. Instead of getting ``Key table entry not
+ * found'', the user might back ``failed to find
+ * host/host.example.com\@EXAMLE.COM(kvno 3) in keytab /etc/krb5.keytab
+ * (des-cbc-crc)''. This improves the chance that the user find the
+ * cause of the error so you should use the customised error message
+ * whenever it's available.
+ *
+ * See also module @ref krb5_error .
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection intro_krb5_keytab Keytab management
+ *
+ * A keytab is a storage for locally stored keys. Heimdal includes keytab
+ * support for Kerberos 5 keytabs, Kerberos 4 srvtab, AFS-KeyFile's,
+ * and for storing keys in memory.
+ *
+ * Keytabs are used for servers and long-running services.
+ *
+ * See also @ref krb5_keytab_intro and @ref krb5_keytab .
+ *
+ * @subsection intro_krb5_crypto Kerberos crypto
+ *
+ * Heimdal includes a implementation of the Kerberos crypto framework,
+ * all crypto operations. To create a crypto context call krb5_crypto_init().
+ *
+ * See also module @ref krb5_crypto .
+ *
+ * @section kerberos5_client Walkthrough of a sample Kerberos 5 client
+ *
+ * This example contains parts of a sample TCP Kerberos 5 clients, if you
+ * want a real working client, please look in appl/test directory in
+ * the Heimdal distribution.
+ *
+ * All Kerberos error-codes that are returned from kerberos functions in
+ * this program are passed to krb5_err, that will print a
+ * descriptive text of the error code and exit. Graphical programs can
+ * convert error-code to a human readable error-string with the
+ * krb5_get_error_message() function.
+ *
+ * Note that you should not use any Kerberos function before
+ * krb5_init_context() have completed successfully. That is the
+ * reason err() is used when krb5_init_context() fails.
+ *
+ * First the client needs to call krb5_init_context to initialise
+ * the Kerberos 5 library. This is only needed once per thread
+ * in the program. If the function returns a non-zero value it indicates
+ * that either the Kerberos implementation is failing or it's disabled on
+ * this host.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * #include <krb5.h>
+ *
+ * int
+ * main(int argc, char **argv)
+ * {
+ * krb5_context context;
+ *
+ * if (krb5_init_context(&context))
+ * errx (1, "krb5_context");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * Now the client wants to connect to the host at the other end. The
+ * preferred way of doing this is using getaddrinfo (for
+ * operating system that have this function implemented), since getaddrinfo
+ * is neutral to the address type and can use any protocol that is available.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * struct addrinfo *ai, *a;
+ * struct addrinfo hints;
+ * int error;
+ *
+ * memset (&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
+ * hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
+ * hints.ai_protocol = IPPROTO_TCP;
+ *
+ * error = getaddrinfo (hostname, "pop3", &hints, &ai);
+ * if (error)
+ * errx (1, "%s: %s", hostname, gai_strerror(error));
+ *
+ * for (a = ai; a != NULL; a = a->ai_next) {
+ * int s;
+ *
+ * s = socket (a->ai_family, a->ai_socktype, a->ai_protocol);
+ * if (s < 0)
+ * continue;
+ * if (connect (s, a->ai_addr, a->ai_addrlen) < 0) {
+ * warn ("connect(%s)", hostname);
+ * close (s);
+ * continue;
+ * }
+ * freeaddrinfo (ai);
+ * ai = NULL;
+ * }
+ * if (ai) {
+ * freeaddrinfo (ai);
+ * errx ("failed to contact %s", hostname);
+ * }
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * Before authenticating, an authentication context needs to be
+ * created. This context keeps all information for one (to be) authenticated
+ * connection (see krb5_auth_context).
+ *
+ * @code
+ * status = krb5_auth_con_init (context, &auth_context);
+ * if (status)
+ * krb5_err (context, 1, status, "krb5_auth_con_init");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * For setting the address in the authentication there is a help function
+ * krb5_auth_con_setaddrs_from_fd() that does everything that is needed
+ * when given a connected file descriptor to the socket.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * status = krb5_auth_con_setaddrs_from_fd (context,
+ * auth_context,
+ * &sock);
+ * if (status)
+ * krb5_err (context, 1, status,
+ * "krb5_auth_con_setaddrs_from_fd");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * The next step is to build a server principal for the service we want
+ * to connect to. (See also krb5_sname_to_principal().)
+ *
+ * @code
+ * status = krb5_sname_to_principal (context,
+ * hostname,
+ * service,
+ * KRB5_NT_SRV_HST,
+ * &server);
+ * if (status)
+ * krb5_err (context, 1, status, "krb5_sname_to_principal");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * The client principal is not passed to krb5_sendauth()
+ * function, this causes the krb5_sendauth() function to try to figure it
+ * out itself.
+ *
+ * The server program is using the function krb5_recvauth() to
+ * receive the Kerberos 5 authenticator.
+ *
+ * In this case, mutual authentication will be tried. That means that the server
+ * will authenticate to the client. Using mutual authentication
+ * is required to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks, since it enables the user to
+ * verify that they are talking to the right server (a server that knows the key).
+ *
+ * If you are using a non-blocking socket you will need to do all work of
+ * krb5_sendauth() yourself. Basically you need to send over the
+ * authenticator from krb5_mk_req() and, in case of mutual
+ * authentication, verifying the result from the server with
+ * krb5_rd_rep().
+ *
+ * @code
+ * status = krb5_sendauth (context,
+ * &auth_context,
+ * &sock,
+ * VERSION,
+ * NULL,
+ * server,
+ * AP_OPTS_MUTUAL_REQUIRED,
+ * NULL,
+ * NULL,
+ * NULL,
+ * NULL,
+ * NULL,
+ * NULL);
+ * if (status)
+ * krb5_err (context, 1, status, "krb5_sendauth");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * Once authentication has been performed, it is time to send some
+ * data. First we create a krb5_data structure, then we sign it with
+ * krb5_mk_safe() using the auth_context that contains the
+ * session-key that was exchanged in the
+ * krb5_sendauth()/krb5_recvauth() authentication
+ * sequence.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * data.data = "hej";
+ * data.length = 3;
+ *
+ * krb5_data_zero (&packet);
+ *
+ * status = krb5_mk_safe (context,
+ * auth_context,
+ * &data,
+ * &packet,
+ * NULL);
+ * if (status)
+ * krb5_err (context, 1, status, "krb5_mk_safe");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * And send it over the network.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * len = packet.length;
+ * net_len = htonl(len);
+ *
+ * if (krb5_net_write (context, &sock, &net_len, 4) != 4)
+ * err (1, "krb5_net_write");
+ * if (krb5_net_write (context, &sock, packet.data, len) != len)
+ * err (1, "krb5_net_write");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * To send encrypted (and signed) data krb5_mk_priv() should be
+ * used instead. krb5_mk_priv() works the same way as
+ * krb5_mk_safe(), with the exception that it encrypts the data
+ * in addition to signing it.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * data.data = "hemligt";
+ * data.length = 7;
+ *
+ * krb5_data_free (&packet);
+ *
+ * status = krb5_mk_priv (context,
+ * auth_context,
+ * &data,
+ * &packet,
+ * NULL);
+ * if (status)
+ * krb5_err (context, 1, status, "krb5_mk_priv");
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * And send it over the network.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * len = packet.length;
+ * net_len = htonl(len);
+ *
+ * if (krb5_net_write (context, &sock, &net_len, 4) != 4)
+ * err (1, "krb5_net_write");
+ * if (krb5_net_write (context, &sock, packet.data, len) != len)
+ * err (1, "krb5_net_write");
+ *
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * The server is using krb5_rd_safe() and
+ * krb5_rd_priv() to verify the signature and decrypt the packet.
+ *
+ * @section intro_krb5_verify_user Validating a password in an application
+ *
+ * See the manual page for krb5_verify_user().
+ *
+ * @section mit_differences API differences to MIT Kerberos
+ *
+ * This section is somewhat disorganised, but so far there is no overall
+ * structure to the differences, though some of the have their root in
+ * that Heimdal uses an ASN.1 compiler and MIT doesn't.
+ *
+ * @subsection mit_krb5_principal Principal and realms
+ *
+ * Heimdal stores the realm as a krb5_realm, that is a char *.
+ * MIT Kerberos uses a krb5_data to store a realm.
+ *
+ * In Heimdal krb5_principal doesn't contain the component
+ * name_type; it's instead stored in component
+ * name.name_type. To get and set the nametype in Heimdal, use
+ * krb5_principal_get_type() and
+ * krb5_principal_set_type().
+ *
+ * For more information about principal and realms, see
+ * krb5_principal.
+ *
+ * @subsection mit_krb5_error_code Error messages
+ *
+ * To get the error string, Heimdal uses
+ * krb5_get_error_message(). This is to return custom error messages
+ * (like ``Can't find host/datan.example.com\@CODE.COM in
+ * /etc/krb5.conf.'' instead of a ``Key table entry not found'' that
+ * error_message returns.
+ *
+ * Heimdal uses a threadsafe(r) version of the com_err interface; the
+ * global com_err table isn't initialised. Then
+ * error_message returns quite a boring error string (just
+ * the error code itself).
+ *

+/**
+ *
+ *
+ * @page krb5_fileformats File formats
+ *
+ * @section fileformats File formats
+ *
+ * This section documents the diffrent file formats that are used in
+ * Heimdal and other Kerberos implementations.
+ *
+ * @subsection file_keytab keytab
+ *
+ * The keytab binary format is not a standard format. The format has
+ * evolved and may continue to. It is however understood by several
+ * Kerberos implementations including Heimdal, MIT, Sun's Java ktab and
+ * are created by the ktpass.exe utility from Windows. So it has
+ * established itself as the defacto format for storing Kerberos keys.
+ *
+ * The following C-like structure definitions illustrate the MIT keytab
+ * file format. All values are in network byte order. All text is ASCII.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * keytab {
+ * uint16_t file_format_version; # 0x502
+ * keytab_entry entries[*];
+ * };
+ *
+ * keytab_entry {
+ * int32_t size;
+ * uint16_t num_components; # subtract 1 if version 0x501
+ * counted_octet_string realm;
+ * counted_octet_string components[num_components];
+ * uint32_t name_type; # not present if version 0x501
+ * uint32_t timestamp;
+ * uint8_t vno8;
+ * keyblock key;
+ * uint32_t vno; #only present if >= 4 bytes left in entry
+ * uint32_t flags; #only present if >= 4 bytes left in entry
+ * };
+ *
+ * counted_octet_string {
+ * uint16_t length;
+ * uint8_t data[length];
+ * };
+ *
+ * keyblock {
+ * uint16_t type;
+ * counted_octet_string;
+ * };
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * All numbers are stored in network byteorder (big endian) format.
+ *
+ * The keytab file format begins with the 16 bit file_format_version which
+ * at the time this document was authored is 0x502. The format of older
+ * keytabs is described at the end of this document.
+ *
+ * The file_format_version is immediately followed by an array of
+ * keytab_entry structures which are prefixed with a 32 bit size indicating
+ * the number of bytes that follow in the entry. Note that the size should be
+ * evaluated as signed. This is because a negative value indicates that the
+ * entry is in fact empty (e.g. it has been deleted) and that the negative
+ * value of that negative value (which is of course a positive value) is
+ * the offset to the next keytab_entry. Based on these size values alone
+ * the entire keytab file can be traversed.
+ *
+ * The size is followed by a 16 bit num_components field indicating the
+ * number of counted_octet_string components in the components array.
+ *
+ * The num_components field is followed by a counted_octet_string
+ * representing the realm of the principal.
+ *
+ * A counted_octet_string is simply an array of bytes prefixed with a 16
+ * bit length. For the realm and name components, the counted_octet_string
+ * bytes are ASCII encoded text with no zero terminator.
+ *
+ * Following the realm is the components array that represents the name of
+ * the principal. The text of these components may be joined with slashs
+ * to construct the typical SPN representation. For example, the service
+ * principal HTTP/www.foo.net\@FOO.NET would consist of name components
+ * "HTTP" followed by "www.foo.net".
+ *
+ * Following the components array is the 32 bit name_type (e.g. 1 is
+ * KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL, 2 is KRB5_NT_SRV_INST, 5 is KRB5_NT_UID, etc). In
+ * practice the name_type is almost certainly 1 meaning KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL.
+ *
+ * The 32 bit timestamp indicates the time the key was established for that
+ * principal. The value represents the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970.
+ *
+ * The 8 bit vno8 field is the version number of the key. This value is
+ * overridden by the 32 bit vno field if it is present. The vno8 field is
+ * filled with the lower 8 bits of the 32 bit protocol kvno field.
+ *
+ * The keyblock structure consists of a 16 bit value indicating the
+ * encryption type and is a counted_octet_string containing the key. The
+ * encryption type is the same as the Kerberos standard (e.g. 3 is
+ * des-cbc-md5, 23 is arcfour-hmac-md5, etc).
+ *
+ * The last field of the keytab_entry structure is optional. If the size of
+ * the keytab_entry indicates that there are at least 4 bytes remaining,
+ * a 32 bit value representing the key version number is present. This
+ * value supersedes the 8 bit vno8 value preceeding the keyblock.
+ *
+ * Older keytabs with a file_format_version of 0x501 are different in
+ * three ways:
+ *
+ * - All integers are in host byte order [1].
+ * - The num_components field is 1 too large (i.e. after decoding, decrement by 1).
+ * - The 32 bit name_type field is not present.
+ *
+ * [1] The file_format_version field should really be treated as two
+ * separate 8 bit quantities representing the major and minor version
+ * number respectively.
+ *
+ * @subsection file_hdb_dump Heimdal database dump file
+ *
+ * Format of the Heimdal text dump file as of Heimdal 0.6.3:
+ *
+ * Each line in the dump file is one entry in the database.
+ *
+ * Each field of a line is separated by one or more spaces, with the
+ * exception of fields consisting of principals containing spaces, where
+ * space can be quoted with \ and \ is quoted by \.
+ *
+ * Fields and their types are:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * Quoted principal (quote character is \) [string]
+ * Keys [keys]
+ * Created by [event]
+ * Modified by [event optional]
+ * Valid start time [time optional]
+ * Valid end time [time optional]
+ * Password end valid time [time optional]
+ * Max lifetime of ticket [time optional]
+ * Max renew time of ticket [integer optional]
+ * Flags [hdb flags]
+ * Generation number [generation optional]
+ * Extensions [extentions optional]
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * Fields following these silently are ignored.
+ *
+ * All optional fields will be skipped if they fail to parse (or comprise
+ * the optional field marker of "-", w/o quotes).
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * fred\@CODE.COM 27:1:16:e8b4c8fc7e60b9e641dcf4cff3f08a701d982a2f89ba373733d26ca59ba6c789666f6b8bfcf169412bb1e5dceb9b33cda29f3412:-:1:3:4498a933881178c744f4232172dcd774c64e81fa6d05ecdf643a7e390624a0ebf3c7407a:-:1:2:b01934b13eb795d76f3a80717d469639b4da0cfb644161340ef44fdeb375e54d684dbb85:-:1:1:ea8e16d8078bf60c781da90f508d4deccba70595258b9d31888d33987cd31af0c9cced2e:- 20020415130120:admin\@CODE.COM 20041221112428:fred\@CODE.COM - - - 86400 604800 126 20020415130120:793707:28 -

+ * masterkvno is the kvno of the database master key. If this field is
+ * empty, the kadmin load and merge operations will encrypt the key data
+ * with the master key if there is one. Otherwise the key data will be
+ * imported asis.
+ *
+ * salt is encoded as "-" (no/default salt) or
+ *
+ * @code
+ * salt-type /
+ * salt-type / "string"
+ * salt-type / hex-encoded-data
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * keytype is the protocol enctype number; see enum ENCTYPE in
+ * include/krb5_asn1.h for values.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * @code
+ * 27:1:16:e8b4c8fc7e60b9e641dcf4cff3f08a701d982a2f89ba373733d26ca59ba6c789666f6b8bfcf169412bb1e5dceb9b33cda29f3412:-:1:3:4498a933881178c744f4232172dcd774c64e81fa6d05ecdf643a7e390624a0ebf3c7407a:-:1:2:b01934b13eb795d76f3a80717d469639b4da0cfb644161340ef44fdeb375e54d684dbb85:-:1:1:ea8e16d8078bf60c781da90f508d4deccba70595258b9d31888d33987cd31af0c9cced2e:-

+ * - time
+ *
+ * Format of the time is: YYYYmmddHHMMSS, corresponding to strftime
+ * format "%Y%m%d%k%M%S".
+ *
+ * Time is expressed in UTC.
+ *
+ * Time can be optional (using -), when the time 0 is used.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * 20041221112428
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * - event
+ *
+ * @code
+ * time:principal
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * time is as given in format time
+ *
+ * principal is a string. Not quoting it may not work in earlier
+ * versions of Heimdal.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * @code
+ * 20041221112428:bloggs\@CODE.COM
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * - hdb flags
+ *
+ * Integer encoding of HDB flags, see HDBFlags in lib/hdb/hdb.asn1. Each
+ * bit in the integer is the same as the bit in the specification.
+ *
+ * - generation:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * time:usec:gen
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ *
+ * usec is a the microsecond, integer.
+ * gen is generation number, integer.
+ *
+ * The generation can be defaulted (using '-') or the empty string
+ *
+ * - extensions:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * first-hex-encoded-HDB-Extension[:second-...]
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * HDB-extension is encoded the DER encoded HDB-Extension from
+ * lib/hdb/hdb.asn1. Consumers HDB extensions should be aware that
+ * unknown entires needs to be preserved even thought the ASN.1 data
+ * content might be unknown. There is a critical flag in the data to show
+ * to the KDC that the entry MUST be understod if the entry is to be
+ * used.
