Kerberos Authentication c/c++

I am in the process of developing a application that needs to be able to authenticate users details with a kerberos server, which is proving to be rather difficult. There seems to be a lack of good information on how to do this using the MIT kerberos api.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Regards

NAME
ipa-rmkeytab - Remove a kerberos principal from a keytab SYNOPSIS
ipa-rmkeytab [ -p principal-name ] [ -k keytab-file ] [ -r realm ] [ -d ] DESCRIPTION
Removes a kerberos principal from a keytab. Kerberos keytabs are used for services (like sshd) to perform kerberos authentication. A keytab is a file with one or more secrets (or keys) for a kerberos principal. A kerberos service principal is a kerberos identity that can be used for authentication. Service principals contain the name of the ser- vice, the hostname of the server, and the realm name. ipa-rmkeytab provides two ways to remove principals. A specific principal can be removed or all principals for a given realm can be removed. All encryption types and versions of a principal are removed. The realm may be included when removing a specific principal but it is not required. NOTE: removing a principal from the keytab does not affect the Kerberos principal stored in the IPA server. It merely removes the entry from the local keytab. OPTIONS
-p principal-name The non-realm part of the full principal name. -k keytab-file The keytab file to append the principal(s) from. -r realm A realm to remove all principals for. -d Debug mode. Additional information is displayed. EXAMPLES
Remove the NFS service principal on the host foo.example.com from /tmp/nfs.keytab. # ipa-rmkeytab -p nfs/foo.example.com -k /tmp/nfs.keytab Remove the ldap service principal on the host foo.example.com from /etc/krb5.keytab. # ipa-rmkeytab -p ldap/foo.example.com -k /etc/krb5.keytab Remove all principals for the realm EXAMPLE.COM. # ipa-rmkeytab -r EXAMPLE.COM -k /etc/krb5.keytab EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 on success, nonzero on error. 1 Kerberos initialization failed 2 Memory allocation error 3 Unable to open keytab 4 Unable to parse the principal name 5 Principal name or realm not found in keytab 6 Unable to remove principal from keytab IPA
