I have met a development issue about the kerberos's GSSAPI. The krb5 library has a `send hook' support as is done in `krb5_set_kdc_send_hook'. This is very useful for me, in a project where the network traffic is restricted to a single TCP connection, which is shared between different clients by multiplexing. And a dedicated KDC communication channel is not available. The hook provides a perfect way for the KDC messages to its destination over the shared tcp connection.
On the other hand, GSSAPI is cool to have a uniformed interface to different authentication mechanisms as well as the kerberos, and it saves a lot of effort compared to using the native krb API. And I would like to use it for the kerberos development. But with GSSAPI, I cannot find an official way to set the hook between the `context' creation and the start of kdc traffic, as is done in a single function `gss_init_sec_context'. The worst situation is that I need to get hands dirty to change the source code. Does any of you have some suggestions on this issue ? looking forward to your comments. woodhead99 ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
