Re: Processing keytab in memory

[T C <tccheung1@gmail.com>]

What do you meant by keys?  Do you mean just the encryption
key, or other associated info like kvo, algorithm type, and all 
the names.  Is there a data structure for storing all these info 
into database?

Right now as soon as I import the keytab file I write it to 
the approate location for configuration purposes, but I
store it into database for purposes of backup because 
our system backs up database automatically but not files.
If there is a database API where you can feed all 
relevant pieces of info into Heimdal when it initializes
the key table, I'll like to know.

Or if there is any other suggestion, I like to learn about
that as well.

Thanks,
Terry
