💖 shishi_kdcreq_postdated_p 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the shishi manual (section 3, the library-call girlies) and it's literally just a lil vibe check for one single flag. her whole job? asking "is this postdated or not" and answering with a number. that's it. that's the gig. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_kdcreq_postdated_p(Shishi * handle, Shishi_asn1 kdcreq);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, allocated by shishi_init(). you know her, you love her, she's the main character of every single one of these functions. 💅
  • Shishi_asn1 kdcreq — the KDC-REQ variable we're pulling the kdc-options field out of. she's the one we're interrogating bestie, be nice to her. 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so like, this function determines whether the KDC-Option postdated flag is set. that's the whole thing. non-mysterious. slay.

now the tea on what that flag actually means, because it's lowkey important:

the POSTDATED option says "hey, this is a request for a postdated ticket." and the way that works is: this option will only be honored if the ticket-granting ticket it's based on has its MAY-POSTDATE flag set. no MAY-POSTDATE, no postdate, periodt.

and the resulting ticket? she also gets her INVALID flag set. 😭 not a forever thing though — that flag may be reset by a subsequent request to the KDC, but only after the starttime in the ticket has been reached. so it's giving "pending" not "broken". ⏳✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

returns non-0 iff the postdated flag is set in KDC-REQ. so like, truthy = yes bestie, falsy = no bestie. no cap.

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈
