This function performs the client side of a sendauth/recvauth exchange by sending and receiving messages over fd .
Credentials may be specified in three ways:
- If in_creds is NULL, credentials are obtained with krb5_get_credentials() using the principals client and server . server must be non-null; client may NULL to use the default principal of ccache .
- If in_creds is non-null, but does not contain a ticket, credentials for the exchange are obtained with krb5_get_credentials() using in_creds . In this case, the values of client and server are unused.
- If in_creds is a complete credentials structure, it used directly. In this case, the values of client , server , and ccache are unused.
If the server is using a different application protocol than that specified in appl_version , an error will be returned.
Use krb5_free_creds() to free out_creds , krb5_free_ap_rep_enc_part() to free rep_result , and krb5_free_error() to free error when they are no longer needed.
