Hello, I'm new to this newsgroup, so be patient with me. Is there a way to
verify a userid and password without getting a new ticket-granting-ticket?
All I want to do is pass a name to a function, make sure that Kerberos knows
the principal, prompt for the password, verify it, and return a yes or no
type answer (or k_errno). I do NOT want to use krb_get_pw_in_tkt, because
it replaces the existing tickets, and then I have to do another call to
krb_get_pw_in_tkt to get a new ticket-granting-ticket for the user who was
already logged in (unfortunately, this is what my program does now).
I asked one of the systems programmers here and he said he didn't know, but
would be very interested in such a thing. Any ideas?
