🌸 gssapi_services_intro(3) — the vibe check on GSS-API services 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Heimdal GSS-API library and it's literally the intro tour of what GSS-API services can do for you. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving orientation day. let's go 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gssapi_services_intro — Introduction to GSS-API services 🎀

🦋 GSS-API services 🦋

this is the whole menu of stuff the services can handle. three little sections, and every single one matters, so we're not skipping anything, periodt.

💖 Context creation 💖

when you're setting up a context, these are the things in play:

• delegation
• mutual authentication
• anonymous
• use per message before context creation has completed

and then, the return status you can get back from all that:

• support conf
• support int

💜 Context creation flags 💜

these are the flags, and yes we're listing all thirteen because every single one is iconic in its own way:

• GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG
• GSS_C_MUTUAL_FLAG
• GSS_C_REPLAY_FLAG
• GSS_C_SEQUENCE_FLAG
• GSS_C_CONF_FLAG
• GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG
• GSS_C_ANON_FLAG
• GSS_C_PROT_READY_FLAG
• GSS_C_TRANS_FLAG
• GSS_C_DCE_STYLE
• GSS_C_IDENTIFY_FLAG
• GSS_C_EXTENDED_ERROR_FLAG
• GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG

🌈 Per-message services 🌈

and once you're actually sending messages, here's what you get to play with:

• conf
• int
• message integrity
• replay detection
• out of sequence

that's the whole page, no cap. it's a tiny one but it's lowkey the map for everything else in the library, so come back to it whenever you're lost 🫶
