NAME

krb5_get_krbhst krb5_get_krb_admin_hst krb5_get_krb_changepw_hst krb5_get_krb524hst krb5_free_krbhst - lookup Kerberos KDC hosts

LIBRARY

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS

In krb5.h Ft krb5_error_code Fn krb5_get_krbhst krb5_context context const krb5_realm *realm char ***hostlist Ft krb5_error_code Fn krb5_get_krb_admin_hst krb5_context context const krb5_realm *realm char ***hostlist Ft krb5_error_code Fn krb5_get_krb_changepw_hst krb5_context context const krb5_realm *realm char ***hostlist Ft krb5_error_code Fn krb5_get_krb524hst krb5_context context const krb5_realm *realm char ***hostlist Ft krb5_error_code Fn krb5_free_krbhst krb5_context context char **hostlist

DESCRIPTION

These functions implement the old API to get a list of Kerberos hosts, and are thus similar to the Fn krb5_krbhst_init functions. However, since these functions returns all hosts in one go, they potentially have to do more lookups than necessary. These functions remain for compatibility reasons.

After a call to one of these functions, Fa hostlist is a NULL terminated list of strings, pointing to the requested Kerberos hosts. These should be freed with Fn krb5_free_krbhst when done with.

EXAMPLES

The following code will print the KDCs of the realm ``MY.REALM''

char **hosts, **p;
krb5_get_krbhst(context, "MY.REALM", &hosts);
for(p = hosts; *p; p++)
    printf("%s\n", *p);
krb5_free_krbhst(context, hosts);
