                       'aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96');
my $data = $kadmin->keytab ('host/foo.example.com');

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Wallet::Kadmin::Heimdal is out here implementing the Wallet::Kadmin API, but for Heimdal specifically. It's giving interface. It's giving create and delete principals, create keytabs. 💅

It provides the API documented in Wallet::Kadmin for a Heimdal KDC. That's the whole job. She does it well. Periodt.

Now — important part, don't skip this — to use this class, several configuration parameters must be set. Like, mandatory mandatory. Go read "KEYTAB OBJECT CONFIGURATION" in Wallet::Config for the details, iykyk. 🎀

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • KEYTAB_TMP/keytab.<pid> — so the keytab gets created in this file, and then it gets read into memory. That's the whole arc. 📖

KEYTAB_TMP is set in the wallet configuration, and <pid> is the process ID of the current process — very main character energy, every process gets its own little name tag. 🏷️

And then? The file is unlinked after being read. Gone. Poof. She said "I don't leave traces." 💀✨
