Class Netmech_scram_gssapi.scram_gss_api

class scram_gss_api : ?client_key_ring:client_key_ring -> ?server_key_verifier:server_key_verifier -> Netmech_scram.profile -> Netgssapi.gss_api
Returns a standard-compliant GSS-API object for the passed SCRAM profile. The object can be used on the client side for all users whose passwords are available via client_key_ring. By default, the key ring is empty. On the server side, the object authenticates all users whose credentials are available via server_key_verifier. By default, no user can be verified.

SCRAM only allows usernames of type NT_USER_NAME for identifying users.

For principals (servers), this SCRAM implementation allows identifiers of type NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE and NT_USER_NAME. Any such name can be used, because the SCRAM protocol does not use principal names. The contexts will always return the hostbased service "@" as name of the principals.

This implementation checks whether the messages are verified and unwrapped in the same order than generated, and reports this via the `Unseq_token and `Gap_token flags. Support for true replay detection (`Duplicate_token) is not implemented, though. Replayed tokens will also be marked as `Unseq_token.
