Subject: Re: X11R4 XDM authentication and/or additional documentation
I'm curious about the setpag stuff. Since you call ka_UserAuthenticate
with the setpag argument true it is already doing a setpag for you. The
setpag which you added near the end would seem to change the PAG again,
thus losing all the tickets. I gather this doesn't happen, but I don't
understand why.
Also since you don't use the reason string, you might as well pass in a zero.
The code I wrote as expressed in the diff's is correct, my bug fix is bogus.
You just found a bug in my second comment (where I thought I had a bug and
said setpag() should be outside the KERBEROS definition).
This is lecture mode for everyone else, not for you Ted...
The code I sent out does things two ways...if -DKERBEROS is set, then
ka_UserAuthenticate is not used so the explicit setpag() is required.
Unfortunately, the code I sent out is obviously much more complicated
than what most people care about, because we use MIT kerberos here. I
had the code running both ways (with/without MIT kerberos) for spell and
things did work fine. You're right about the reason code and I'll fix
that in my local copy.
Sorry about the bogus "bug fix" to the code. :-)
