NIM file ccache support improvements
NIM supports the ability of the user to specify an explicit ccache name for use with an identity. If this ccache is a FILE ccache, we need to be able to store credentials into the ccache. krb5cred.dll did not previously specify the KRB5_TC_OPENCLOSE flag on the ccache when setting other flags such as KRB5_TC_NOTICKET (which is used with MSLSA ccaches). As a result, open/close mode was turned off, the ccache file would be opened in read-only mode and attempts to store credentials into the ccache would fail. This is fixed by specifying KRB5_TC_OPENCLOSE when setting the ccache flags. When a CCAPI implementation is unavailable, we need to automatically generate the FILE ccache name if one has not already been specified. We default to a file stored in the user's Local Settings\Temp directory. The generated ccache is then added to the file ccache watch list. Finally, some users have complained about the behavior of Microsoft Vista's UAC mode and how it makes the CCAPI cache useless for storing credentials that must be used in conjunction with processes that do not have restricted privileges since those processes run in a separate logon session. For these users we have added a "DefaultToFileCache" registry value that can be specified to force the use of FILE ccaches in preference to CCAPI ccaches when there is no explicit ccache specified for a given identity. Unlike CCAPI ccaches, the FILE ccaches are accessible from both restricted and unrestricted processes when UAC is active. ticket: new component: windows git-svn-id: svn://anonsvn.mit.edu/krb5/trunk@19897 dc483132-0cff-0310-8789-dd5450dbe970
