.Dt KRB5-PLUGIN 7
.Os HEIMDAL
.Sh NAME
.Nm krb5-plugin
.Nd plugin interface for Heimdal
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In krb5.h
.In krb5/an2ln_plugin.h
.In krb5/ccache_plugin.h
.In krb5/db_plugin.h
.In krb5/kuserok_plugin.h
.In krb5/locate_plugin.h
.In krb5/send_to_kdc_plugin.h
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Heimdal has a plugin interface.  Plugins may be statically linked into
Heimdal and registered via the
.Xr krb5_plugin_register 3
function, or they may be dynamically loaded from shared objects present
in the Heimdal plugins directories.
.Pp
Plugins consist of a C struct whose struct name is given in the
associated header file, such as, for example,
.Va krb5plugin_kuserok_ftable
and a pointer to which is either registered via
.Xr krb5_plugin_register 3
or found in a shared object via a symbol lookup for the symbol name
defined in the associated header file (e.g., "kuserok" for the
plugin for
.Xr krb5_kuserok 3
).
.Pp
The plugin structs for all plugin types always begin with the same three
common fields:
.Bl -enum -compact
.It
.Va minor_version
, an int.  Plugin minor versions are defined in each plugin type's
associated header file.
.It
.Va init
, a pointer to a function with two arguments, a krb5_context and a
void **, returning a krb5_error_code.  This function will be called to
initialize a plugin-specific context in the form of a void * that will
be output through the init function's second argument.
.It
.Va fini
, a pointer to a function of one argument, a void *, consisting of the
plugin's context to be destroyed, and returning void.
.El
.Pp
Each plugin type must add zero or more fields to this struct following
the above three.  Plugins are typically invoked in no particular order
until one succeeds or fails, or all return a special return value such
as KRB5_PLUGIN_NO_HANDLE to indicate that the plugin was not applicable.
Most plugin types obtain deterministic plugin behavior in spite of the
non-deterministic invocation order by, for example, invoking all plugins
for each "rule" and passing the rule to each plugin with the expectation
that just one plugin will match any given rule.
.Pp
There is a database plugin system intended for many of the uses of
databases in Heimdal.  The plugin is expected to call
.Xr heim_db_register 3
from its
.Va init
entry point to register a DB type.  The DB plugin's
.Va fini
function must do nothing, and the plugin must not provide any other
entry points.
.Pp
The krb5_kuserok plugin adds a single field to its struct: a pointer to
a function that implements kuserok functionality with the following
form:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
static krb5_error_code
kuserok(void *plug_ctx, krb5_context context, const char *rule,
        unsigned int flags, const char *k5login_dir,
        const char *luser, krb5_const_principal principal,
        krb5_boolean *result)
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Va luser
,
.Va principal
and
.Va result
arguments are self-explanatory (see
.Xr krb5_kuserok 3
).  The
.Va plug_ctx
argument is the context output by the plugin's init function.  The
.Va rule
argument is a kuserok rule from the krb5.conf file; each plugin is invoked once
for each rule until all plugins fail or one succeeds.  The
.Va k5login_dir
argument provides an alternative k5login file location, if not NULL.
The
.Va flags
argument indicates whether the plugin may call
.Xr krb5_aname_to_localname 3
(KUSEROK_ANAME_TO_LNAME_OK), and whether k5login databases are expected to be
authoritative (KUSEROK_K5LOGIN_IS_AUTHORITATIVE).
.Pp
The plugin for
.Xr krb5_aname_to_localname 3
is named "an2ln" and has a single extra field for the plugin struct:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
typedef krb5_error_code (*set_result_f)(void *, const char *);

static krb5_error_code
an2ln(void *plug_ctx, krb5_context context, const char *rule,
      krb5_const_principal aname, set_result_f set_res_f, void *set_res_ctx)
.Ed
.Pp
The arguments for the
.Va an2ln
plugin are similar to those of the kuserok plugin, but the result, being
a string, is set by calling the
.Va set_res_f
function argument with the
.Va set_res_ctx
and result string as arguments.  The
.Va set_res_f
function will make a copy of the string.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -compact
.It Pa libdir/plugin/krb5/*
Shared objects containing plugins for Heimdal.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Pp
An example an2ln plugin that maps principals to a constant "nouser"
follows:
.Pp
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#include <krb5/an2ln_plugin.h>

static krb5_error_code
nouser_plug_init(krb5_context context, void **ctx)
{
    *ctx = NULL;
    return 0;
}

static void nouser_plug_fini(void *ctx) { }

static krb5_error_code
nouser_plug_an2ln(void *plug_ctx, krb5_context context,
                  const char *rule,
                  krb5_const_principal aname,
                  set_result_f set_res_f, void *set_res_ctx)
{   
    krb5_error_code ret;

    if (strcmp(rule, "NOUSER") != 0)
	return KRB5_PLUGIN_NO_HANDLE;

    ret = set_res_f(set_res_ctx, "nouser");

    return ret;
}

krb5plugin_an2ln_ftable an2ln = {
    KRB5_PLUGIN_AN2LN_VERSION_0,
    nouser_plug_init,
    nouser_plug_fini,
    nouser_plug_an2ln,
};
.Ed
.Pp
An example kuserok plugin that rejects all requests follows.  (Note that
there exists a built-in plugin with this functionality; see
.Xr krb5_kuserok 3
).
.Pp
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#include <krb5/kuserok_plugin.h>

static krb5_error_code
reject_plug_init(krb5_context context, void **ctx)
{
    *ctx = NULL;
    return 0;
}

static void reject_plug_fini(void *ctx) { }

static krb5_error_code
reject_plug_kuserok(void *plug_ctx, krb5_context context, const char *rule,
                    unsigned int flags, const char *k5login_dir,
                    const char *luser, krb5_const_principal principal,
                    krb5_boolean *result)
{
    if (strcmp(rule, "REJECT") != 0)
        return KRB5_PLUGIN_NO_HANDLE;

    *result = FALSE;
    return 0;
}

krb5plugin_kuserok_ftable kuserok = {
    KRB5_PLUGIN_KUSEROK_VERSION_0,
    reject_plug_init,
    reject_plug_fini,
    reject_plug_kuserok,
};
