[Perlgssapi-developer] Interesting patch floating around

[Merijn B. <me...@il...>]

Hi there,

Looking for those missing symbols I found what looks like somebody's
patch through google:

http://rc.vintela.com/topics/ddns/downloads/GSSAPI-vas.patch

basically removing the mech stuff and using different constants and in
some cases function names.

Cheers,

yes, mostly it makes use of the uppercase constants of GSS_BLA style.

Is there any reason not to use this constants instead the older
lower case constants in the GSSAPI module?

Thank you,

Achim

lower case constants in the GSSAPI module?

Does that break usage of older GSSAPI versions that do not define that 
constants? (At a minimum i have to document this in the readme file
and make the Makefile.PL warn or complain)

Thank you,

Achim

I'm not sure. I'm trying to get hold of our windows kerberos guy but he
is not answering phone or e-mail. I'll get on with this on Monday.

I cannot find much information on when and what has changed and the mit
site is borked right now.

Hmm.
Looks for me like a patch making the module compile with Heimdal.

GSS_KRB5_MECHANISM is defined in all of my Heimdal gssapi.h header files,
but in none of my MIT header file (1.3 and 1.4).

What is the "uppercase version" of
gss_mech_krb5

in MIT 1.3 an mit 1.4

Headerfiles?

The patch just drops 

gss_nt_exported_name()

from GSSAPI::OID_cons.

Is there no need for

gss_nt_exported_name OID?

Thank you,
