KRB5_VERIFY_INIT_CREDS(3)				   BSD Library Functions Manual 				 KRB5_VERIFY_INIT_CREDS(3)

NAME
     krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_init, krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_set_ap_req_nofail, krb5_verify_init_creds -- verifies a credential cache is cor-
     rect by using a local keytab

LIBRARY
     Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <krb5/krb5.h>

     struct krb5_verify_init_creds_opt;

     void
     krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_init(krb5_verify_init_creds_opt *options);

     void
     krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_set_ap_req_nofail(krb5_verify_init_creds_opt *options, int ap_req_nofail);

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_verify_init_creds(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *creds, krb5_principal ap_req_server, krb5_ccache *ccache,
	 krb5_verify_init_creds_opt *options);

DESCRIPTION
     The krb5_verify_init_creds function verifies the initial tickets with the local keytab to make sure the response of the KDC was spoof-ed.

     krb5_verify_init_creds will use principal ap_req_server from the local keytab, if NULL is passed in, the code will guess the local hostname
     and use that to form host/hostname/GUESSED-REALM-FOR-HOSTNAME.  creds is the credential that krb5_verify_init_creds should verify.  If ccache
     is given krb5_verify_init_creds() stores all credentials it fetched from the KDC there, otherwise it will use a memory credential cache that
     is destroyed when done.

     krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_init() cleans the the structure, must be used before trying to pass it in to krb5_verify_init_creds().

     krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_set_ap_req_nofail() controls controls the behavior if ap_req_server doesn't exists in the local keytab or in the
     KDC's database, if it's true, the error will be ignored.  Note that this use is possible insecure.
