KRB5 Client Software
This section presents an overview of the KRB5-Client software, which
consists of libraries, header files, manpages, and Kerberos utilities. The
section is divided into two parts. The following subsection, “Libraries and
Header Files”, discusses the libraries and header files supplied with the
KRB5-Client software. The second subsection,“Kerberos Utilities” on
page 56, discusses the Kerberos utilities.
Libraries and Header Files
This section lists and describes the libraries and header files supplied
with the KRB5-Client software.
You can use the KRB5-Client libraries to develop secure client/server
applications for either 32-bit or 64-bit environments on any of the
HP-UX 11.X platforms.
The client libraries are based on MIT Kerberos V5 1.1.1 release. This
release is compatible with MIT Kerberos 1.2 and interoperable with
Microsoft Windows 2000.
NOTE On HP-UX 11i v3, the KRB5-Client libraries are based on MIT Kerberos
V5 1.3.5 release. These KRB5-Client libraries support the DES, AES,
3DES and RC4 encryption types.
The Kerberos Client Library (libkrb5.so) replaces the KRB-Support
Library (libsis.sl) from the HP-UX 11i v1.6 release onwards.
The KRB5-Client libraries support Data Encryption Standard (DES) as
specified in RFC 1510 of the IETF.
