krb5_error_code krb5_c_string_to_key_with_params(krb5_context context, krb5_enctype enctype, const krb5_data * string, const krb5_data * salt, const krb5_data * params, krb5_keyblock * key)
param:

[in] context - Library context

[in] enctype - Encryption type

[in] string - String to be converted

[in] salt - Salt value

[in] params - Parameters

[out] key - Generated key

retval:

This function is similar to krb5_c_string_to_key() , but also takes parameters which may affect the algorithm in an enctype-dependent way. The newly created key must be released by calling krb5_free_keyblock_contents() when it is no longer needed.
