✨ NAME ✨

Authen::Krb5::AuthContext — a Kerberos 5 auth_context object. no cap, that's exactly what it says. 🦋

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this is version 1.906. noted, memorized, slayed. 💅

👑 METHODS 👑

🫶 new()

Allocates memory for a brand-new Authen::Krb5::AuthContext object and hands it right back to you. it's giving "here's your new baby, take care of it." ✨

🎀 "setaddrs(localaddr,remoteaddr)"

Sets the local and remote addresses for the AuthContext object. 'localaddr' and 'remoteaddr' are Authen::Krb5::Address objects — usually of type ADDRTYPE_INET, iykyk. 🌈

💜 getaddrs()

Returns a list containing the local and the remote address of the AuthContext object. two-for-one deal, we love to see it. 💖

🦋 setrcache(rc)

Sets the replay cache for auth_context. 'rc' is a Authen::Krb5::Rcache object generated by get_server_rcache. iconic behaviour fr fr. ⭐

🔥 getkey()
