GSSAPI - Perl extension providing access to the GSSAPIv2 library

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This module gives access to the routines of the GSSAPI library, as described in rfc2743 and rfc2744 and implemented by the Kerberos-1.2 distribution from MIT.

Since 0.14 it also compiles and works with Heimdal. Lacks of Heimdal support are gss_release_oid(), gss_str_to_oid() and fail of some tests. Have a look at the tests in t/ directory too see what tests fail on Heimdal ( the *.t tests are just skipping them at the moment)

The API presented by this module is a mildly object oriented reinterpretation of the C API, where opaque C structures are Perl objects, but the style of function call has been left mostly untouched. As a result, most routines modify one or more of the parameters passed to them, reflecting the C call-by-reference (or call-by-value-return) semantics.

All users of this module are therefore strongly advised to localize all usage of these routines to minimize pain if and when the API changes.

USAGE

This module wraps the GSSAPI C-Bindings. If you are new to GSSAPI it is a good idea to read RFC2743 and RFC2744, the documentation requires you to be familiar with the concept and the wordings of GSSAPI programming.

the examples directory holds some working examples of usage:

getcred_hostbased.pl
gets a GSSAPI Token for a service specified on commandline. (like kgetcred on Heimdal or kvno on MIT)
gss-client.pl
a simple GSSAPI TCP client.
gss-server.pl
a simple GSSAPI TCP server. Use both as templates if you need quickhacking GSSAPI enabeled GSSAPI TCP services.

GSSAPI::Name

GSSAPI internal representation of principalname

Methods

import( $gssapinameobj, $servicename, $mechnism_oid );
converts stringrepresentation $servicename of service into a GSSAPI internal format and stores it in $gssapiservicename.
input
servicename
Scalar value, like 'HTTP@moerbsen.grolmsnet.lan'.
mechnism_oid
Chose one of the predefines mechanism OIDs from GSSAPI::OID
output
$gssapinameobj
GSSAPI internal representation of servicename
return value
returns GSSAPI::Status Object
Example:
      $status = GSSAPI::Name->import( $gssapinameobj,
                                      'HTTP@moerbsen.grolmsnet.lan',
                                      GSSAPI::OID::gss_nt_hostbased_service);
 
 
display($tname);
converts the GSSAPI internal format into a humanreadable string and stores it into $tname.
output
humanreadable string will be stored into $tname.
return value
returns GSSAPI::Status Object
Example:
      my $tname;
      $status = $gssapinameobj->display($tname);
      die 'hmm, error...' if($status->major != GSS_S_COMPLETE );
      print "\n  Name is $tname";
 
 
compare( nameobj, ret)
Wraps gss_compare_name().
Input
nameobj
the 2nd GSSAPI::Name to be compared to
output
ret
value is non-zero
names refer to same entity
value is zero
names refer to different entities.
return value
returns GSSAPI::Status Object
