MECH(5) 						      BSD File Formats Manual							   MECH(5)

NAME

     mech, qop -- GSS-API Mechanism and QOP files

SYNOPSIS

     /etc/gss/mech /etc/gss/qop

DESCRIPTION

     The /etc/gss/mech file contains a list of installed GSS-API security mechanisms.  Each line of the file either contains a comment if the
     first character is '#' or it contains five fields with the following meanings:

     Name		The name of this GSS-API mechanism.

     Object identifier	The OID for this mechanism.

     Library		A shared library containing the implementation of this mechanism.

     Kernel module	Optional kernel module containing the implementation of this mechanism (not yet supported in FreeBSD).

     Library options	Optional parameters interpreted by the mechanism. Library options must be enclosed in brackets ([ ]) to differentiate them
			from the optional kernel module entry.

     The first mechanism listed in /etc/gss/mech is the default mechanism.  This mechanism will be used by gss_init_sec_context(3) if the user
     doesn't specify a specific mechanism.

     The /etc/gss/qop file contains a list of Quality of Protection values for use with GSS-API.  Each line of the file either contains a comment
     if the first character is '#' or it contains three fields with the following meanings:

     QOP string      The name of this Quality of Protection algorithm.

     QOP value	     The numeric value used to select this algorithm for use with GSS-API functions such as gss_get_mic(3).

     Mechanism name  The GSS-API mechanism name that corresponds to this algorithm.

EXAMPLES

     This is a typical entry from /etc/gss/mech:

     kerberosv5      1.2.840.113554.1.2.2    /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.8    -

     This is a typical entry from /etc/gss/qop:

     GSS_KRB5_CONF_C_QOP_DES	     0x0100  kerberosv5

HISTORY

     The mech manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0.
