Example of authentication using GSSAPI

How to test

1. Build: make all
2. Run server: ./gssapi-auth-server -s ./socket -k /path/to/keytab
3. Run client: ./gssapi-auth-client -n service_name -s ./socket

Where:

• service_name is the host based service name to authenticate with
• ./socket is path where the UNIX socket will be created
• /path/to/keytab is path to the Kerberos keytab that contains service_name credentials

Example

Server:

$ ./gssapi-auth-server -s ./socket -k /path/to/keytab
Trying to establish security context:
  Socket: ./socket
  Keytab: /path/to/keytab
Listening for connections...
Accepted connection: 4
Security context with [email protected] successfully established.

Client:

$ ./gssapi-auth-client -n [email protected] -s ./socket
Trying to establish security context:
  Service Name: [email protected]
  Socket: ./socket
Security context with [email protected] successfully established.

Notes

As an example, you can find the code that establish security content between client and the server in initiator_establish_context() and acceptor_establish_context().
