KRB5_APPDEFAULT(3) Library Functions Manual KRB5_APPDEFAULT(3)

NAME

krb5_appdefault_boolean, krb5_appdefault_string, krb5_appdefault_time — get application configuration value

LIBRARY

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS

#include <krb5.h>
void
krb5_appdefault_boolean(krb5_context context, const char *appname, krb5_realm realm, const char *option, krb5_boolean def_val, krb5_boolean *ret_val);
void
krb5_appdefault_string(krb5_context context, const char *appname, krb5_realm realm, const char *option, const char *def_val, char **ret_val);
void
krb5_appdefault_time(krb5_context context, const char *appname, krb5_realm realm, const char *option, time_t def_val, time_t *ret_val);

DESCRIPTION

These functions get application defaults from the appdefaults section of the krb5.conf(5) configuration file. These defaults can be specified per application, and/or per realm.
These values will be looked for in krb5.conf(5), in order of descending importance. 
[appdefaults] 
	appname = { 
		realm = { 
			option = value 
		} 
	} 
	appname = { 
		option = value 
	} 
	realm = { 
		option = value 
	} 
	option = value
appname is the name of the application, and realm is the realm name. If the realm is omitted it will not be used for resolving values. def_val is the value to return if no value is found in krb5.conf(5).
