krb5_kt_add_entry()--Add New Entry to Key Table


  Syntax 
 #include <krb5.h>

 krb5_error_code krb5_kt_add_entry(
     krb5_context       context,  
     krb5_keytab      ktid,
     krb5_keytab_entry *    entry);
  Service Program Name: QSYS/QKRBGSS

  Default Public Authority: *USE

  Threadsafe: Yes

The krb5_kt_add_entry() function adds a new entry to a key table. No checking is done for duplicate entries. The key table type must support write operations.


Authorities

Object Referred to Data Authority Required
All directories in the path name *X
Keytab file *RW


Parameters

context  (Input)
The Kerberos context.

ktid  (Input)
The key table handle.

entry  (Input)
The entry to be added to the key table.

Return Value

If no errors occur, the return value is 0. Otherwise, a Kerberos error code is returned.


Error Messages

Message ID Error Message Text
CPE3418 E Possible APAR condition or hardware failure.


Usage Notes

  1. It is not necessary to add multiple entries to the key table for keys that use the same key generation algorithm. For example, encryption types ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_CRC and ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_MD5 both generate a 56-bit DES key using the same algorithm. It is necessary to store only a single entry in the key table specifying one of these encryption types. The krb5_kt_get_entry() routine then returns this key table entry when either of these encryption types is specified.
