Thank you Ben. I managed to use krb5_init_creds_password(), krb_verify_init_creds() and krb5_get_credetials() and each returned 0 so I'm assuming that's ok.
How do I now send a message to the server ? I found krb5_sendauth() - do you have a simple example how to use this function ? I did :- Krb5_sendauth(context, &auth_context, NULL, "Kerberos v5", client_princ, server_princ, AP_OPTS_MUTUAL_REQUIRED, &cksum_data, &creds, ccache, &err_ret, &rep_ret, &out_cred); I'm getting : a core dump - I'm not sure if it's to do with me passing NULL to the file descriptor. Do you have a simple example how to use this function provided krb5_init_creds_password(), krb_verify_init_creds() and krb5_get_credetials() are used correctly ? Also, for the original task, once Krb5_sendauth() goes through the Kerberos authentication will I be able to send JSON messages ? Can you help please ? Many thanks for your assistance.

Upon cursory examination, it seems that krb5_get_init_creds_password() and krb5_verify_init_creds() together might be a suitable replacement. Note that it requires the caller to have access to a service keytab (and the principal name must be specified if it is not host/<localhost>). -Ben ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
