Re: Processing keytab in memory

[T C <tccheung1@gmail.com>]

That's good to know.  But how easy is it to build
krb5_keytab_entry from individual fields?  Or is that function
intended for adding an entry from one keytab to another only?

Thanks,
Terry

See krb5_kt_add_entry().  It takes the same krb5_keytab_entry structure
that the enumeration gives you.

In Samba4, I'm going to store a little metadata (principal, plaintext,
kvno, last changed time), then either the blob or a reference to a real
keytab.
