With an Open System architecture, GSS-API provides portability in a heterogeneous
environment. It contains all the GSSAPIs specified in RFC 2743. It is implemented as a
package of C-language interfaces as defined in RFC 2744, "Generic Security Service API:
C-bindings.” The Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API Mechanism is explained in RFC 1964.
GSS-API provides five groups of service interface:
• Credential Management
• Context-Level Services
• Authentication Services
• Confidentiality Services
• Support Services
An application developer who uses the GSS-API C-binding interfaces needs to include
/usr/include/gssapi.h in his program and needs to link with /usr/include/libgss.sl
library.
GSSAPI filesets are listed in the following two tables:
