KRB5_APPDEFAULT(3) Library Functions Manual KRB5_APPDEFAULT(3)

krb5_appdefault_boolean, krb5_appdefault_string, krb5_appdefault_time — get application configuration value

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

#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);

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).
