2013-04-26SUNRPC: Use gssproxy upcall for server RPCGSS authentication.Simo Sorce
The main advantge of this new upcall mechanism is that it can handle big tickets as seen in Kerberos implementations where tickets carry authorization data like the MS-PAC buffer with AD or the Posix Authorization Data being discussed in IETF on the krbwg working group. The Gssproxy program is used to perform the accept_sec_context call on the kernel's behalf. The code is changed to also pass the input buffer straight to upcall mechanism to avoid allocating and copying many pages as tokens can be as big (potentially more in future) as 64KiB.
