Authen...abEntry(3pm)

💖 Authen::Krb5::KeytabEntry(3pm) — the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's literally called Authen::Krb5::KeytabEntry — no cap, it's all about one single entry inside a Kerberos keytab. tiny little object, huge main character energy. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ VERSION ✨

this is version 1.906 — she's got a number, she's got a past, she's iconic 🫶

---

🌸 METHODS 🌸

💅 new(principal, kvno, keyblock)

okay so you wanna make a brand new Authen::Krb5::KeytabEntry object? periodt. you're gonna hand her three things:

1. an Authen::Krb5::Principal object ✨
2. a key version number 🔢
3. an Authen::Krb5::Keyblock object 🔑

do that and boom — new entry, freshly served 🍓

👑 principal

this one gives you back an Authen::Krb5::Principal object, and it represents the principal contained in the entry. like, whose entry is this? this one. that one. her. 💜

🕰️ timestamp

the timestamp of the entry. time? clocked. literally. ⏰

🔢 kvno

the key version number of the key chillin' inside the entry. just a lil number keeping track of which version of the key we're on. slay.

🔑 key

and this returns an Authen::Krb5::Keyblock object that represents a copy of the keyblock contained in the entry. note the word copy bestie, that's the important part — she's giving you a dupe, not the original 💅
