Hi. I'm in need of some help untangling the v5 kadmind sources. I need to
make some modifications to the server to do password syncronization between
kerberos principals and NIS+. I've found the function I need to add the
NIS+ password changing code to (passwd_change() - duh!), but I have some
questions about how the data is stored.
Given the data in the various krb5 data structures, how can I determine the
username and new password of the given user? Given the pricipal name I can
make some assumptions to give me the username, but I'm not familiar with
the code enough to know how this is stored. Ditto for the new passwd.
If anyone could give me some hints it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Matt
