Authen...Keytab(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Authen::Krb5::Keytab — bestie, it's a Kerberos 5 keytab 💖 like literally the whole module, no cap.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.906 — that's the one, that's the vibe ✨

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

okay so here's the whole toolkit, one by one, no skips:

🦋 add_entry(entry)

Adds entry to the keytab. boom. done. iconic 💅

🦋 remove_entry(entry)

Removes entry from the keytab. the reverse vibe. we love a clean exit 🫶

🦋 get_name()

Returns the name of the keytab. just the name, that's it, that's the whole job 💖

🦋 "get_entry(principal[, kvno, enctype])"

Returns an Authen::Krb5::KeytabEntry object representing an entry in the keytab matching principal — and optionally kvno and enctype if you wanna be specific about it ✨

🦋 start_seq_get()

Returns a cursor that can be passed to next_entry() to read in turn every key in the keytab. it's giving little bookmark energy 🎀

🦋 next_entry(cursor)

Returns the next entry in the keytab as an Authen::Krb5::KeytabEntry object. one at a time, queen, patience is a virtue 👑

🦋 end_seq_get(cursor)

Perform cleanup opreations after next_entry() and invalidates cursor. (yes, the original says "opreations" — we keep the lore exactly as it is, fr fr 😭). cursor's done after this, no coming back 💀
