For a detailed description of the profile interface, +see the header file ``<profile.h>``. + +.. note:: + + The profile interface does not follow the normal conventions + for MIT krb5 pluggable interfaces, because it is part of a + lower-level component of the krb5 library. + +As with other types of plugin modules, a profile module is a Unix +shared object or Windows DLL, built separately from the krb5 tree. +The krb5 library will dynamically load and use a profile plugin module +if it reads a ``module`` directive at the beginning of krb5.conf, as +described in :ref:`profile_plugin_config`. + +A profile module exports a function named ``profile_module_init`` +matching the signature of the profile_module_init_fn type. This +function accepts a residual string, which may be used to help locate +the configuration source. The function fills in a vtable and may also +create a per-profile state object. If the module uses state objects, +it should implement the **copy** and **cleanup** methods to manage +them. + +A basic read-only profile module need only implement the +**get_values** and **free_values** methods. The **get_values** method +accepts a null-terminated list of C string names (e.g., an array +containing "libdefaults", "clockskew", and NULL for the **clockskew** +variable in the :ref:`libdefaults` section) and returns a +null-terminated list of values, which will be cleaned up with the +**free_values** method when the caller is done with them. + +Iterable profile modules must also define the **iterator_create**, +**iterator**, **iterator_free**, and **free_string** methods. The +core krb5 code does not require profiles to be iterable, but some +applications may iterate over the krb5 profile object in order to +present configuration interfaces. + +Writable profile modules must also define the **writable**, +**modified**, **update_relation**, **rename_section**, +**add_relation**, and **flush** methods. The core krb5 code does not +require profiles to be writable, but some applications may write to +the krb5 profile in order to present configuration interfaces. + +The following is an example of a very basic read-only profile module +which returns a hardcoded value for the **default_realm** variable in +:ref:`libdefaults`, and provides no other configuration information. +(For conciseness, the example omits code for checking the return +values of malloc and strdup.) :: + + #include <stdlib.h> + #include <string.h> + #include <profile.h> + + static long + get_values(void *cbdata, const char *const *names, char ***values) + { + if (names[0] != NULL && strcmp(names[0], "libdefaults") == 0 && + names[1] != NULL && strcmp(names[1], "default_realm") == 0) { + *values = malloc(2 * sizeof(char *)); + (*values)[0] = strdup("ATHENA.MIT.EDU"); + (*values)[1] = NULL; + return 0; + } + return PROF_NO_RELATION; + } + + static void + free_values(void *cbdata, char **values) + { + char **v; + + for (v = values; *v; v++) + free(*v); + free(values); + } + + long + profile_module_init(const char *residual, struct profile_vtable *vtable, + void **cb_ret); + + long + profile_module_init(const char *residual, struct profile_vtable *vtable, + void **cb_ret) + { + *cb_ret = NULL; + vtable->get_values = get_values; + vtable->free_values = free_values; + return 0; + } |
