-Credential cache selection interface (ccselect)
-===============================================
-
-The ccselect interface allows modules to control how credential caches
-are chosen when a GSSAPI client contacts a service. For a detailed
-description of the ccselect interface, see the header file
-``<krb5/ccselect_plugin.h>``.
-
-The primary ccselect method is **choose**, which accepts a server
-principal as input and returns a ccache and/or principal name as
-output. A module can use the krb5_cccol APIs to iterate over the
-cache collection in order to find an appropriate ccache to use.
-
-.. TODO: add reference to the admin guide for ccaches and cache
- collections when we have appropriate sections.
-
-A module can create and destroy per-library-context state objects by
-implementing the **init** and **fini** methods. State objects have
-the type krb5_ccselect_moddata, which is an abstract pointer type. A
-module should typically cast this to an internal type for the state
-object.
-
-A module can have one of two priorities, "authoritative" or
-"heuristic". Results from authoritative modules, if any are
-available, will take priority over results from heuristic modules. A
-module communicates its priority as a result of the **init** method.

-Client preauthentication interface (clpreauth)
-==============================================
-
-During an initial ticket request, a KDC may ask a client to prove its
-knowledge of the password before issuing an encrypted ticket, or to
-use credentials other than a password. This process is called
-preauthentication, and is described in :rfc:`4120` and :rfc:`6113`.
-The clpreauth interface allows the addition of client support for
-preauthentication mechanisms beyond those included in the core MIT
-krb5 code base. For a detailed description of the clpreauth
-interface, see the header file ``<krb5/preauth_plugin.h>``.
-
-A clpreauth module is generally responsible for:
-
-* Supplying a list of preauth type numbers used by the module in the
- **pa_type_list** field of the vtable structure.
-
-* Indicating what kind of preauthentication mechanism it implements,
- with the **flags** method. In the most common case, this method
- just returns ``PA_REAL``, indicating that it implements a normal
- preauthentication type.
-
-* Examining the padata information included in the preauth_required
- error and producing padata values for the next AS request. This is
- done with the **process** method.
-
-* Examining the padata information included in a successful ticket
- reply, possibly verifying the KDC identity and computing a reply
- key. This is also done with the **process** method.
-
-* For preauthentication types which support it, recovering from errors
- by examining the error data from the KDC and producing a padata
- value for another AS request. This is done with the **tryagain**
- method.
-
-* Receiving option information (supplied by ``kinit -X`` or by an
- application), with the **gic_opts** method.
-
-A clpreauth module can create and destroy per-library-context and
-per-request state objects by implementing the **init**, **fini**,
-**request_init**, and **request_fini** methods. Per-context state
-objects have the type krb5_clpreauth_moddata, and per-request state
-objects have the type krb5_clpreauth_modreq. These are abstract
-pointer types; a module should typically cast these to internal
-types for the state objects.
-
-The **process** and **tryagain** methods have access to a callback
-function and handle (called a "rock") which can be used to get
-additional information about the current request, including the
-expected enctype of the AS reply, the FAST armor key, and the client
-long-term key (prompting for the user password if necessary). A
-callback can also be used to replace the AS reply key if the
-preauthentication mechanism computes one.

-General plugin concepts
-=======================
-
-A krb5 dynamic plugin module is a Unix shared object or Windows DLL.
-Typically, the source code for a dynamic plugin module should live in
-its own project with a build system using automake_ and libtool_, or
-tools with similar functionality.
-
-A plugin module must define a specific symbol name, which depends on
-the pluggable interface and module name. For most pluggable
-interfaces, the exported symbol is a function named
-``INTERFACE_MODULE_initvt``, where *INTERFACE* is the name of the
-pluggable interface and *MODULE* is the name of the module. For these
-interfaces, it is possible for one shared object or DLL to implement
-multiple plugin modules, either for the same pluggable interface or
-for different ones. For example, a shared object could implement both
-KDC and client preauthentication mechanisms, by exporting functions
-named ``kdcpreauth_mymech_initvt`` and ``clpreauth_mymech_initvt``.
-
-.. note: The profile, locate, and GSSAPI mechglue pluggable interfaces
- follow different conventions. See the documentation for
- those interfaces for details. The remainder of this section
- applies to pluggable interfaces which use the standard
- conventions.
-
-A plugin module implementation should include the header file
-``<krb5/INTERFACE_plugin.h>``, where *INTERFACE* is the name of the
-pluggable interface. For instance, a ccselect plugin module
-implementation should use ``#include <krb5/ccselect_plugin.h>``.
-
-.. note: clpreauth and kdcpreauth module implementations should
- include <krb5/preauth_plugin.h>.
-
-initvt functions have the following prototype::
-
- krb5_error_code interface_modname_initvt(krb5_context context,
- int maj_ver, int min_ver,
- krb5_plugin_vtable vtable);
-
-and should do the following:
-
-1. Check that the supplied maj_ver argument is supported by the
- module. If it is not supported, the function should return
- KRB5_PLUGIN_VER_NOTSUPP.
-
-2. Cast the supplied vtable pointer to the structure type
- corresponding to the major version, as documented in the pluggable
- interface header file.
-
-3. Fill in the structure fields with pointers to method functions and
- static data, stopping at the field indicated by the supplied minor
- version. Fields for unimplemented optional methods can be left
- alone; it is not necessary to initialize them to NULL.
-
-In most cases, the context argument will not be used. The initvt
-function should not allocate memory; think of it as a glorified
-structure initializer. Each pluggable interface defines methods for
-allocating and freeing module state if doing so is necessary for the
-interface.
-
-Pluggable interfaces typically include a **name** field in the vtable
-structure, which should be filled in with a pointer to a string
-literal containing the module name.
-
-Here is an example of what an initvt function might look like for a
-fictional pluggable interface named fences, for a module named
-"wicker"::
-
- krb5_error_code
- fences_wicker_initvt(krb5_context context, int maj_ver,
- int min_ver, krb5_plugin_vtable vtable)
- {
- krb5_ccselect_vtable vt;
-
- if (maj_ver == 1) {
- krb5_fences_vtable vt = (krb5_fences_vtable)vtable;
- vt->name = "wicker";
- vt->slats = wicker_slats;
- vt->braces = wicker_braces;
- } else if (maj_ver == 2) {
- krb5_fences_vtable_v2 vt = (krb5_fences_vtable_v2)vtable;
- vt->name = "wicker";
- vt->material = wicker_material;
- vt->construction = wicker_construction;
- if (min_ver < 2)
- return 0;
- vt->footing = wicker_footing;
- if (min_ver < 3)
- return 0;
- vt->appearance = wicker_appearance;
- } else {
- return KRB5_PLUGIN_VER_NOTSUPP;
- }
- return 0;
- }

-Internal pluggable interfaces
-=============================
-
-Following are brief discussions of pluggable interfaces which have not
-yet been made public. These interfaces are functional, but the
-interfaces are likely to change in incompatible ways from release to
-release. In some cases, it may be necessary to copy header files from
-the krb5 source tree to use an internal interface. Use these with
-care, and expect to need to update your modules for each new release
-of MIT krb5.
-
-
-Kerberos database interface (KDB)
----------------------------------
-
-A KDB module implements a database back end for KDC principal and
-policy information, and can also control many aspects of KDC behavior.
-For a full description of the interface, see the header file
-``<kdb.h>``.
-
-The KDB pluggable interface is often referred to as the DAL (Database
-Access Layer).
-
-
-Authorization data interface (authdata)
----------------------------------------
-
-The authdata interface allows a module to provide (from the KDC) or
-consume (in application servers) authorization data of types beyond
-those handled by the core MIT krb5 code base. The interface is
-defined in the header file ``<krb5/authdata_plugin.h>``, which is not
-installed by the build.

-KADM5 hook interface (kadm5_hook)
-=================================
-
-The kadm5_hook interface allows modules to perform actions when
-changes are made to the Kerberos database through :ref:`kadmin(1)`.
-For a detailed description of the kadm5_hook interface, see the header
-file ``<krb5/kadm5_hook_plugin.h>``.
-
-The kadm5_hook interface has four primary methods: **chpass**,
-**create**, **modify**, and **remove**. Each of these methods is
-called twice when the corresponding administrative action takes place,
-once before the action is committed and once afterwards. A module can
-prevent the action from taking place by returning an error code during
-the pre-commit stage.
-
-A module can create and destroy per-process state objects by

-the type kadm5_hook_modinfo, which is an abstract pointer type. A
-module should typically cast this to an internal type for the state

-

-interface (which is explicitly unstable), it may not remain as stable
-across versions as other public pluggable interfaces.

- is generally only used with hardware tokens, the ``PA_HARDWARE``
- flag allows the mechanism to work with principals which have the
- **requires_hwauth** flag set.
-
-* Producing a padata value to be sent with a preauth_required error,
- with the **edata** method.
-
-* Examining a padata value sent by a client and verifying that it
- proves knowledge of the appropriate client credential information.
- This is done with the **verify** method.
-
-* Producing a padata response value for the client, and possibly
- computing a reply key. This is done with the **return_padata**
- method.

-**verify** method, receiving it in the **return_padata** method, and
-destroying it in the **free_modreq** method. Note that these state
-objects only apply to the processing of a single AS request packet,
-not to an entire authentication exchange (since an authentication
-exchange may remain unfinished by the client or may involve multiple
-different KDC hosts). Per-request state objects have the type
-krb5_kdcpreauth_modreq, which is an abstract pointer type.
-
-The **edata**, **verify**, and **return_padata** methods have access
-to a callback function and handle (called a "rock") which can be used
-to get additional information about the current request, including the
-maximum allowable clock skew, the client's long-term keys, the
-DER-encoded request body, the FAST armor key, string attributes on the
-client's database entry, and the client's database entry itself.
-
-The **edata** and **verify** methods can be implemented
-asynchronously. Because of this, they do not return values directly
-to the caller, but must instead invoke responder functions with their
-results. A synchronous implementation can invoke the responder
-function immediately. An asynchronous implementation can use the

-Server location interface (locate)
-==================================
-
-The locate interface allows modules to control how KDCs and similar
-services are located by clients. For a detailed description of the
-ccselect interface, see the header file ``<krb5/locate_plugin.h>``.
-
-.. note: The locate interface does not follow the normal conventions

-
-A locate module exports a structure object of type
-krb5plugin_service_locate_ftable, with the name ``service_locator``.
-The structure contains a minor version and pointers to the module's
-methods.
-
-The primary locate method is **lookup**, which accepts a service type,
-realm name, desired socket type, and desired address family (which
-will be AF_UNSPEC if no specific address family is desired). The
-method should invoke the callback function once for each server
-address it wants to return, passing a socket type (SOCK_STREAM for TCP
-or SOCK_DGRAM for UDP) and socket address. The **lookup** method
-should return 0 if it has authoritatively determined the server
-addresses for the realm, KRB5_PLUGIN_NO_HANDLE if it wants to let
-other location mechanisms determine the server addresses, or another
-code if it experienced a failure which should abort the location
-process.

-Configuration interface (profile)
-=================================
-
-The profile interface allows a module to control how krb5
-configuration information is obtained by the Kerberos library and
-applications. For a detailed description of the profile interface,
-see the header file ``<profile.h>``.
-
-.. note:: The profile interface does not follow the normal conventions
- for MIT krb5 pluggable interfaces, because it is part of a
- lower-level component of the krb5 library.
-
-As with other types of plugin modules, a profile module is a Unix
-shared object or Windows DLL, built separately from the krb5 tree.
-The krb5 library will dynamically load and use a profile plugin module
-if it reads a ``module`` directive at the beginning of krb5.conf, as
-described in :ref:`profile_plugin_config`.
-
-A profile module exports a function named ``profile_module_init``
-matching the signature of the profile_module_init_fn type. This
-function accepts a residual string, which may be used to help locate
-the configuration source. The function fills in a vtable and may also
-create a per-profile state object. If the module uses state objects,
-it should implement the **copy** and **cleanup** methods to manage
-them.
-
-A basic read-only profile module need only implement the
-**get_values** and **free_values** methods. The **get_values** method
-accepts a null-terminated list of C string names (e.g., an array
-containing "libdefaults", "clockskew", and NULL for the **clockskew**
-variable in the :ref:`libdefaults` section) and returns a
-null-terminated list of values, which will be cleaned up with the
-**free_values** method when the caller is done with them.
-
-Iterable profile modules must also define the **iterator_create**,
-**iterator**, **iterator_free**, and **free_string** methods. The
-core krb5 code does not require profiles to be iterable, but some
-applications may iterate over the krb5 profile object in order to
-present configuration interfaces.
-
-Writable profile modules must also define the **writable**,
-**modified**, **update_relation**, **rename_section**,
-**add_relation**, and **flush** methods. The core krb5 code does not
-require profiles to be writable, but some applications may write to
-the krb5 profile in order to present configuration interfaces.
-
-The following is an example of a very basic read-only profile module
-which returns a hardcoded value for the **default_realm** variable in
-:ref:`libdefaults`, and provides no other configuration information.
-(For conciseness, the example omits code for checking the return
-values of malloc and strdup.) ::
-
- #include <stdlib.h>
- #include <string.h>
- #include <profile.h>
-

-Password quality interface (pwqual)
-===================================
-
-The pwqual interface allows modules to control what passwords are
-allowed when a user changes passwords. For a detailed description of
-the pwqual interface, see the header file ``<krb5/pwqual_plugin.h>``.
-
-The primary pwqual method is **check**, which receives a password as
-input and returns success (0) or a ``KADM5_PASS_Q_`` failure code
-depending on whether the password is allowed. The **check** method
-also receives the principal name and the name of the principal's
-password policy as input; although there is no stable interface for
-the module to obtain the fields of the password policy, it can define
-its own configuration or data store based on the policy name.
-
-A module can create and destroy per-process state objects by
-implementing the **open** and **close** methods. State objects have
-the type krb5_pwqual_moddata, which is an abstract pointer type. A
-module should typically cast this to an internal type for the state
-object. The **open** method also receives the name of the realm's
-dictionary file (as configured by the **dict_file** variable in the
-:ref:`kdc_realms` section of :ref:`kdc.conf(5)`) if it wishes to use
-it.
