Cross Platform Kerberos 5 Interface

cross-krb5 is a safe interface for Kerberos 5 services on Windows and Unix. It provides most of the flexibility of using gssapi and sspi directly with a unified cross platform api.

As well as providing a uniform API, services using cross-krb5 should interoperate across all the supported OSes transparently, and should interoperate with other services assuming they are not platform specific.

Example

use bytes::Bytes;
use cross_krb5::{AcceptFlags, ClientCtx, InitiateFlags, K5Ctx, Step, ServerCtx};
use std::{env::args, process::exit, sync::mpsc, thread};

enum Msg {
    Token(Bytes),
    Msg(Bytes),
}

fn server(spn: String, input: mpsc::Receiver<Msg>, output: mpsc::Sender<Msg>) {
    let mut server = ServerCtx::new(AcceptFlags::empty(), Some(&spn)).expect("new");
    let mut server = loop {
        let token = match input.recv().expect("expected data") {
            Msg::Msg(_) => panic!("server not finished initializing"),
            Msg::Token(t) => t,
        };
        match server.step(&*token).expect("step") {
            Step::Finished((ctx, token)) => {
                if let Some(token) = token {
                    output.send(Msg::Token(Bytes::copy_from_slice(&*token))).expect("send");
                }
                break ctx
            },
            Step::Continue((ctx, token)) => {
                output.send(Msg::Token(Bytes::copy_from_slice(&*token))).expect("send");
                server = ctx;
            }
        }
    };

        Msg::Msg(secret_msg) => println!(
            "{}",
            String::from_utf8_lossy(&server.unwrap(&*secret_msg).expect("unwrap"))
        ),
    }
}

fn client(spn: &str, input: mpsc::Receiver<Msg>, output: mpsc::Sender<Msg>) {
    let (mut client, token) =
        ClientCtx::new(InitiateFlags::empty(), None, spn, None).expect("new");
