99.Sh DESCRIPTION
100.Fn krb5_get_creds
101fetches credentials specified by
102.Fa opt
103by first looking in the
104.Fa ccache ,
105and then it doesn't exists, fetch the credential from the KDC
106using the krbtgts in
107.Fa ccache .
108The credential is returned in
109.Fa out_creds
110and should be freed using the function
111.Fn krb5_free_creds .
112.Pp
113The structure
114.Li krb5_get_creds_opt
115controls the behavior of
116.Fn krb5_get_creds .
117The structure is opaque to consumers that can set the content of the
118structure with accessors functions. All accessor functions make copies
119of the data that is passed into accessor functions, so external
120consumers free the memory before calling
121.Fn krb5_get_creds .
122.Pp
123The structure
124.Li krb5_get_creds_opt
125is allocated with
126.Fn krb5_get_creds_opt_alloc
127and freed with
128.Fn krb5_get_creds_opt_free .
129The free function also frees the content of the structure set by the
130accessor functions.
131.Pp
132.Fn krb5_get_creds_opt_add_options
133and
134.Fn krb5_get_creds_opt_set_options
135adds and sets options to the
136.Fi krb5_get_creds_opt
137structure .
138The possible options to set are
139.Bl -tag -width "KRB5_GC_USER_USER" -compact
140.It KRB5_GC_CACHED
141Only check the
142.Fa ccache ,
143don't got out on network to fetch credential.
144.It KRB5_GC_USER_USER
145request a user to user ticket.
146This options doesn't store the resulting user to user credential in
147the
148.Fa ccache .
149.It KRB5_GC_EXPIRED_OK
150returns the credential even if it is expired, default behavior is trying
151to refetch the credential from the KDC.
152.It KRB5_GC_NO_STORE
153Do not store the resulting credentials in the
154.Fa ccache .
155.El
156.Pp
157.Fn krb5_get_creds_opt_set_enctype
158sets the preferred encryption type of the application. Don't set this
159unless you have to since if there is no match in the KDC, the function
160call will fail.
161.Pp
162.Fn krb5_get_creds_opt_set_impersonate
163sets the principal to impersonate., Returns a ticket that have the
164impersonation principal as a client and the requestor as the
165service. Note that the requested principal have to be the same as the
166client principal in the krbtgt.
167.Pp
168.Fn krb5_get_creds_opt_set_ticket
169sets the extra ticket used in user-to-user or contrained delegation use case.
