I downloaded kfw-3.0.0-final and unzipp'ed it under my personal directory. I have an app which will load the gssapi32.dll and dynamically invoke various gss functions. So far things work fine except this one problem with gss_acquire_cred that looks like a bug in the MIT kerberos impl. Here is what I tried: ========================= major = gssIndicateMechs(&minor, &desired_mechs); // gss_acquire_cred call#1 major = gssAcquireCred(&minor, GSS_C_NO_NAME, GSS_C_INDEFINITE, desired_mechs, GSS_C_INITIATE, &credHdl, NULL, NULL); major = gssInquireCred(&minor, credHdl, &nameHdl, NULL, NULL, NULL); // gss_acquire_cred call#2 major = gssAcquireCred(&minor, nameHdl, GSS_C_INDEFINITE, desired_mechs, GSS_C_INITIATE, &credHdl, NULL, NULL); ... major = gssImportName(&minor, &nameVal, nameType, &nameHdl); // gss_acquire_cred call#3 major = gssAcquireCred(&minor, nameHdl, 0, desired_mechs, GSS_C_ACCEPT, &credHdl2, NULL, NULL); ========================= #1 and #3 of the above gss_acquire_cred(...) calls succeed while #2 hangs. I checked the major/minor status after each gss calls and did not observe any problem up until call#2. If I commented out #2, my app will run to its completion. Please fix this... Thanks, Valerie
