✨ shishi_cfg_authorizationtype_set(3) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the shishi manual section, and today's main character is shishi_cfg_authorizationtype_set — an API function that literally just tells shishi who's allowed in and how we're checking. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

shishi_cfg_authorizationtype_set — API function. that's it, that's the name, she's an API function and she's booked and busy 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_cfg_authorizationtype_set(Shishi * handle, char * value);

like, include the header, call the function, slay. that's the whole vibe ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • Shishi * handle — the Shishi library handle, and you gotta make her with shishi_init(). no handle, no service, periodt.
  • char * value — a string listing the acceptable authorization types. basically your lil guest list, but as text 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what she does is set the configuration option "authorization-types" from value. the way that works is so cute actually: the string contains authorization types, and those types can be integers or names, separated by comma or whitespace. mix and match, she doesn't care, she's flexible like that 🌈

as an example, "k5login basic" would first check Kerberos5 authentication based on preset principals, and then fall back to the basic test of identical principal names. so it's giving "try the fancy door first, then the regular door" energy 🚪✨ — order matters, bestie, it's a fallback chain, not a random grab bag.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • Returns SHISHI_OK if successful 💖
  • and SHISHI_INVALID_ARGUMENT otherwise 😭

that's the whole vibe check. two outcomes, no in-between, no cap.
