Description

Functions

gss_check_version ()

const char *
gss_check_version (const char *req_version);

Check that the version of the library is at minimum the one given as a string in req_version .

WARNING: This function is a GNU GSS specific extension, and is not part of the official GSS API.

Parameters

req_version

version string to compare with, or NULL

Returns

The actual version string of the library; NULL if the condition is not met. If NULL is passed to this function no check is done and only the version string is returned.

gss_userok ()

int
gss_userok (const gss_name_t name,
            const char *username);

Compare the username against the output from gss_export_name() invoked on name , after removing the leading OID. This answers the question whether the particular mechanism would authenticate them as the same principal
