These functions are used to construct Authentication Contexts for use
with UDP sockets. Use the constructors described below for in
association with TCP sockets.
- mk_req (sprinc, local_addr, remote_addr[, options])
-
Create an Authentication Context for use in communication with a
remote server. This is used by a client initiating communication.
The principal representing the server being contacted is passed as
sprinc. The two addresses, local_addr and
remote_addr, are both internet addresses represented as the
tuple "(host, port)".
The application request options should be passed as a
bitwise-or of option values in options. Valid options
are AP_OPTS_USE_SESSION_KEY and
AP_OPTS_MUTUAL_REQUIRED. The return value is a tuple of
the Authentication Context and s string representing the first packet
which should be sent to the server.
- rd_req (sprinc, data, local_addr, remote_addr)
-
Create an Authentication Context based on data read from an incoming
packet. This is used on a server to authenticate incoming
communications. The server principal is passed as sprinc and
the data from the first packet received from the client is passed as a
string in data. The two address are as described for
mk_req().
- UDPAuthenticationContextType
-
Type of the Authentication Context object returned by
mk_req() and rd_req().
