Kerberos framework

This documentation only applies to Mac OS X 10.2 (with Kerberos for Macintosh 4.5) and Mac OS X 10.3 (with KfM 5.0).

About the Kerberos framework

The Kerberos framework is a Mach-O framework for Mac OS X. It provides the Kerberos v4 and v5 protocols, GSSAPI, KClient and related libraries for Kerberos ticket management.

Using the Kerberos framework

To use the Kerberos framework, add Kerberos.framework to your project and include the Kerberos.h header file:

		#include <Kerberos/Kerberos.h>
		

If you have code which relies on UNIX-style header files, then you can use the following header files from /usr/include :

		#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
		#include <krb5.h>
		#include <krb.h>
		#include <des.h>
