This is the gss-proxy project.
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).
