DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to sequence through all Kerberos hosts of a particular realm and service. The service type can be the KDCs, the administrative servers, the password changing servers, or the servers for Kerberos 4 ticket conversion. First a handle to a particular service is obtained by calling krb5_krbhst_init with the realm of interest and the type of service to lookup. The type can be one of: KRB5_KRBHST_KDC
KRB5_KRBHST_ADMIN
KRB5_KRBHST_CHANGEPW
KRB5_KRBHST_KRB524 | | | | |
The handle is returned to the caller, and should be passed to the other functions. For each call to krb5_krbhst_next information a new host is returned. The former function returns in host a pointer to a structure containing information about the host, such as protocol, hostname, and port:
typedef struct krb5_krbhst_info {
enum { KRB5_KRBHST_UDP,
KRB5_KRBHST_TCP,
KRB5_KRBHST_HTTP } proto;
unsigned short port;
struct addrinfo *ai;
struct krb5_krbhst_info *next;
char hostname[1];
} krb5_krbhst_info;
The related function, krb5_krbhst_next_as_string, return the same information as a url-like string. When there are no more hosts, these functions return KRB5_KDC_UNREACH. To re-iterate over all hosts, call krb5_krbhst_reset and the next call to krb5_krbhst_next will return the first host. When done with the handle, krb5_krbhst_free should be called. To use a krb5_krbhst_info, there are two functions: krb5_krbhst_format_string that will return a printable representation of that struct and krb5_krbhst_get_addrinfo that will return a struct addrinfo that can then be used for communicating with the server mentioned.
EXAMPLE
The following code will print the KDCs of the realm "MY.REALM".
krb5_krbhst_handle handle;
char host[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
krb5_krbhst_init(context, "MY.REALM", KRB5_KRBHST_KDC, &handle);
while(krb5_krbhst_next_as_string(context, handle,
host, sizeof(host)) == 0)
printf("%s\n", host);
krb5_krbhst_free(context, handle);
HISTORY
These functions first appeared in Heimdal 0.3g.
