Credentials Cache API : cc_credentials_t Overview

# cc_credentials_t Overview

## Detailed Description

The cc_credentials_t type is used to store a single set of credentials for either Kerberos v4 or Kerberos v5. In addition to its only function, release(), it contains a pointer to a cc_credentials_union structure. A cc_credentials_union structure contains an integer of the enumerator type cc_credentials_version, which is either cc_credentials_v4 or cc_credentials_v5, and a pointer union, which contains either a cc_credentials_v4_t pointer or a cc_credentials_v5_t pointer, depending on the value in version.

Variables of the type cc_credentials_t are allocated by the CCAPI implementation, and should be released with their release() function. API functions which receive credentials structures from the caller always accept cc_credentials_union, which is allocated by the caller, and accordingly disposed by the caller.

For API functions see cc_credentials_f.
