src/appl/simple For a real example, see github, clhedrick/kerberos.git, in directory kmkhomedir
This is a client-server pair designed to create home directories for users. When you’re using kerberized NFS the normal pam_mkhomedir won’t work, because it assumes that root can create directories in the file system. With kerberized NFS, root has no special privileges. So we have a pam_kmkhomedir that calls a process on the file server to do the creation. If I were doing it again, I’d probably write it using GSSAPI rather than a basic Kerberos client / server. Then I could write the server as a web service in python and use libcurl on the client side. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be practical to write a pam module in anything other than C, but with libcurl all the GSSAPi stuff is handled by the library. If the client isn’t a pam module, it’s easy enough to write a GSSAPI client in python. (I can give you example client-server if you need it.) > On Jan 11, 2022, at 9:18 PM, Chris Hecker <chec...@d6.com> wrote: > > There are two samples in the Kerberos source that have both clients and > servers, I’m not at my computer but they’re called something like > sim_client and sample_client and server. > > Chris > > On Tue, Jan 11, 2022 at 14:44 Gupta, Divyansh via Kerberos <kerberos@mit.edu> > wrote: > >> Hi Kerberos@MIT, >> >> I am attempting to create an application server with Kerberos server-side >> authentication.
