Authen::Krb5::KDB::V5 - objects for Kerberos V5 database V5 principals and policies

Generally you won't load this library or call it's new methods directly. See Authen::Krb5::KDB for more information.

    use Authen::Krb5::KDB::V5;

    $p = Authen::Krb5::KDB::V5->new( data => "..." );

    if ($p->type eq 'princ') {
	print $p->name, ": ", $p->fail_auth_count"\n";
    } elsif ($p->type eq 'policy') {
	print $p->name, ": ", $p->policy_refcnt, "\n";
    }

new( data => "..." )

Parses version 5 principal and policy entries and returns the data via an object. Calls either new_princ or new_policy depending on the data.

Arguments are:

data => <string>

Data to be parsed. This argument is required.

checks => <level>

Data checking level. Level 0 means no checks; level 1 (the default) does basic checks like checking that the lengths in the records are correct; level 2 does much further consistency checks on the data.

lineno => <N>

Line number of the data file where this data came from (for error messages).

new_princ( data => "..." )

Parses version 5 principal entries and returns the data via an object.

Arguments are:

data => <string>

Data to be parsed. This argument is required.

checks => <level>

Data checking level. Level 0 means no checks; level 1 (the default) does basic checks like checking that the lengths in the records are correct; level 2 does much further consistency checks on the data.

lineno => <N>

Line number of the data file where this data came from (for error messages).

Methods to retrieve and set data fields are:

type (read only)

len (read only)

name_len (read only)

n_tl_data (read only)

n_key_data (read only)

e_length (read only)

name

attributes

max_life

max_renew_life

expiration

pw_expiration

last_success

last_success_dt (read only)

last_failed

last_failed_dt (read only)

fail_auth_count

tl_data

See the Authen::Krb5::KDB::TL for methods to deal with TL objects.

key_data

See the Authen::Krb5::KDB::Key for methods to deal with Key objects.

e_data

Other methods include:

print_principal

Print out the data on a principal, similar to the get_principal command in kadmin, but more verbose.

get_attributes

Return a string of all the attributes set for this principal.

new_policy( data => "..." )

Parses version 5 policy entries and returns the data via an object.

Arguments are:

data => <string>

Data to be parsed. This argument is required.

checks => <level>

Data checking level. Level 0 means no checks; level 1 (the default) does basic checks like checking that the lengths in the records are correct; level 2 does much further consistency checks on the data.

lineno => <N>

Line number of the data file where this data came from (for error messages).

Methods to retrieve and set policy data fields are:

type (read only)

name

pw_max_life

pw_min_life

pw_min_length

pw_min_classes

pw_history_num

policy_refcnt

Other methods include:

print_policy

Print out the policy data, similar to the get_policy command in kadmin.
