Kerberos credential caches

krb5_ccache structure holds a Kerberos credential cache.

Heimdal support the follow types of credential caches:

SCC Store the credential in a database
FILE Store the credential in memory
MEMORY Store the credential in memory
API A credential cache server based solution for Mac OS X
KCM A credential cache server based solution for all platforms

Example

This is a minimalistic version of klist:

#include <krb5.h>
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    krb5_context context;
    krb5_cc_cursor cursor;
    krb5_error_code ret;
    krb5_ccache id;
    krb5_creds creds;
    if (krb5_init_context (&context) != 0)
        errx(1, 'krb5_context');
    ret = krb5_cc_default (context, &id);
    if (ret)
        krb5_err(context, 1, ret, 'krb5_cc_default');
    ret = krb5_cc_start_seq_get(context, id, &cursor);
    if (ret)
        krb5_err(context, 1, ret, 'krb5_cc_start_seq_get');
    while((ret = krb5_cc_next_cred(context, id, &cursor, &creds)) == 0){
        char *principal;
        krb5_unparse_name(context, creds.server, &principal);
        printf('principal: %s\n', principal);
        free(principal);
        krb5_free_cred_contents (context, &creds);
    }
    ret = krb5_cc_end_seq_get(context, id, &cursor);
    if (ret)
        krb5_err(context, 1, ret, 'krb5_cc_end_seq_get');
    krb5_cc_close(context, id);
    krb5_free_context(context);
    return 0;
