krb5_build_principal_ext - Build a principal name using length-counted strings.

krb5_error_code krb5_build_principal_ext(krb5_context context, krb5_principal *princ, unsigned int rlen, const char *realm, ...)

param:

[in] context - Library context

[out] princ - Principal name

[in] rlen - Realm name length

[in] realm - Realm name

retval:

• 0 Success

return:

• Kerberos error codes

This function creates a principal from a length-counted string and a variable-length list of length-counted components. The list of components ends with the first 0 length argument (so it is not possible to specify an empty component with this function). Call krb5_free_principal() to free allocated memory for principal when it is no longer needed.

Beginning with release 1.20, the name type of the principal will be inferred as KRB5_NT_SRV_INST or KRB5_NT_WELLKNOWN based on the principal name. The type will be KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL if a type cannot be inferred.
