DESCRIPTION

Fn krb5_check_transited checks the path from Fa client_realm to Fa server_realm where Fa realms and Fa num_realms is the realms between them. If the function returns an error value, Fa bad_realm will be set to the realm in the list causing the error. Fn krb5_check_transited is used internally by the KDC and libkrb5 and should not be called by client applications.

Fn krb5_check_transited_realms is deprecated.

Fn krb5_domain_x500_encode and Fn krb5_domain_x500_decode encodes and decodes the realm names in the X500 format that Kerberos uses to describe the transited realms in krbtgts.
