74.Sh DESCRIPTION
75The
76.Nm krb5_verify_user
77function verifies the password supplied by a user.
78The principal whose password will be verified is specified in
79.Fa principal .
80New tickets will be obtained as a side-effect and stored in
81.Fa ccache
82(if
83.Dv NULL ,
84the default ccache is used).
85.Fn krb5_verify_user
86will call
87.Fn krb5_cc_initialize
88on the given
89.Fa ccache ,
90so
91.Fa ccache
92must only initialized with
93.Fn krb5_cc_resolve
94or
95.Fn krb5_cc_gen_new .
96If the password is not supplied in
97.Fa password
98(and is given as
99.Dv NULL )
100the user will be prompted for it.
101If
102.Fa secure
103the ticket will be verified against the locally stored service key
104.Fa service
105(by default
106.Ql host
107if given as
108.Dv NULL
109).
110.Pp
111The
112.Nm krb5_verify_user_lrealm
113function does the same, except that it ignores the realm in
114.Fa principal
115and tries all the local realms (see
116.Xr krb5.conf 5 ) .
117After a successful return, the principal is set to the authenticated
118realm. If the call fails, the principal will not be meaningful, and
119should only be freed with
120.Xr krb5_free_principal 3 .
121.Pp
122.Fn krb5_verify_opt_init
123resets all opt to default values.
124.Pp
125None of the krb5_verify_opt_set function makes a copy of the data
126structure that they are called with. Its up the caller to free them
127after the
128.Fn krb5_verify_user_opt
129is called.
130.Pp
131.Fn krb5_verify_opt_set_ccache
132sets the
133.Fa ccache
134that user of
135.Fa opt
136will use. If not set, the default credential cache will be used.
137.Pp
138.Fn krb5_verify_opt_set_keytab
139sets the
140.Fa keytab
141that user of
142.Fa opt
143will use. If not set, the default keytab will be used.
144.Pp
145.Fn krb5_verify_opt_set_secure
146if
147.Fa secure
148if true, the password verification will require that the ticket will
149be verified against the locally stored service key. If not set,
150default value is true.
151.Pp
152.Fn krb5_verify_opt_set_service
153sets the
154.Fa service
155principal that user of
156.Fa opt
157will use. If not set, the
158.Ql host
159service will be used.
160.Pp
161.Fn krb5_verify_opt_set_flags
162sets
163.Fa flags
164that user of
165.Fa opt
166will use.
167If the flag
168.Dv KRB5_VERIFY_LREALMS
169is used, the
170.Fa principal
171will be modified like
172.Fn krb5_verify_user_lrealm
173modifies it.
174.Pp
175.Fn krb5_verify_user_opt
176function verifies the
177.Fa password
178supplied by a user.
179The principal whose password will be verified is specified in
180.Fa principal .
181Options the to the verification process is pass in in
182.Fa opt .
183.Sh EXAMPLE
184Here is a example program that verifies a password. it uses the
185.Ql host/`hostname`
186service principal in
187.Pa krb5.keytab .
