KRB5_CHECK_TRANSITED(3) | Library Functions Manual | KRB5_CHECK_TRANSITED(3)

# NAME

`krb5_check_transited`, `krb5_check_transited_realms`, `krb5_domain_x500_decode`, `krb5_domain_x500_encode` —
realm transit verification and encoding/decoding functions

# LIBRARY

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <krb5/krb5.h>`

krb5_error_code
`krb5_check_transited`(krb5_context context, krb5_const_realm client_realm, krb5_const_realm server_realm, krb5_realm *realms, int num_realms, int *bad_realm);

krb5_error_code
`krb5_check_transited_realms`(krb5_context context, const char *const *realms, int num_realms, int *bad_realm);

krb5_error_code
`krb5_domain_x500_decode`(krb5_context context, krb5_data tr, char ***realms, int *num_realms, const char *client_realm, const char *server_realm);

krb5_error_code
`krb5_domain_x500_encode`(char **realms, int num_realms, krb5_data *encoding);

# DESCRIPTION

`krb5_check_transited`() checks the path from client_realm to server_realm where realms and num_realms is the realms between them. If the function returns an error value, bad_realm will be set to the realm in the list causing the error. `krb5_check_transited`() is used internally by the KDC and libkrb5 and should not be called by client applications.

`krb5_check_transited_realms`() is deprecated.

`krb5_domain_x500_encode`() and `krb5_domain_x500_decode`() encodes and decodes the realm names in the X500 format that Kerberos uses to describe the transited realms in krbtgts.
