NAME 🖥️ krb5-config 🖥️

config - tool for linking against MIT Kerberos libraries

SYNOPSIS

krb5-config [–help | –all | –version | –vendor | –prefix | –exec-prefix | –defccname | –defktname | –defcktname | –cflags | –libs [libraries]]

DESCRIPTION

krb5-config tells the application programmer what flags to use to compile and link programs against the installed Kerberos libraries.

OPTIONS

–help
prints a usage message. This is the default behavior when no options are specified.

–all
prints the version, vendor, prefix, and exec-prefix.

–version
prints the version number of the Kerberos installation.

–vendor
prints the name of the vendor of the Kerberos installation.

–prefix
prints the prefix for which the Kerberos installation was built.

–exec-prefix
prints the prefix for executables for which the Kerberos installation was built.

–defccname
prints the built-in default credentials cache location.

–defktname
prints the built-in default keytab location.

–defcktname
prints the built-in default client (initiator) keytab location.

–cflags
prints the compilation flags used to build the Kerberos installation.

–libs [library]
prints the compiler options needed to link against library. Allowed values for library are:

_
krb5Kerberos 5 applications (default)
_
gssapiGSSAPI applications with Kerberos 5 bindings
_
kadm-clientKadmin client
_
kadm-serverKadmin server
_
kdbApplications that access the Kerberos database
_

EXAMPLES

krb5-config is particularly useful for compiling against a Kerberos installation that was installed in a non-standard location. For example, a Kerberos installation that is installed in /opt/krb5/ but uses libraries in /usr/local/lib/ for text localization would produce the following output:

shell% krb5-config –libs krb5 -L/opt/krb5/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/krb5/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err
