Gssproxy
A proxy for GSSAPI | Docs at https://github.com/gssapi/gssproxy/tree/main/docs
Documentation lives in the [docs folder of this repository](https://github.com/gssapi/gssproxy/tree/master/docs). The project is written primarily in C, distributed under the Other license, first published in 2020. Key topics include: afs, cifs, gss-proxy, gssapi, kerberos.
This is the gss-proxy project.
Documentation lives in the docs folder of this
repository.
The goal is to have a GSS-API proxy, with standardizable protocol and a
(somewhat portable) reference client and server implementation. There
are several motivations for this some of which are:
-
Kernel-mode GSS-API applications (CIFS, NFS, AFS, ...) need to be
able to leave all complexity of GSS_Init/Accept_sec_context() out of
the kernel by upcalling to a daemon that does all the dirty work. -
Isolation and privilege separation for user-mode applications. For
example: letting HTTP servers use but not see the keytabe entries for
HTTP/* principals for accepting security contexts. -
Possibly an ssh-agent-like SSH agent for GSS credentials -- a
gss-agent.
gss-proxy uses libverto for dealing with event loops. Note that you need to
have at least one libverto event library installed (e.g. libverto-tevent).
We have a
mailing list
and an IRC channel (#gssapi on libera.chat).
