NAME

mech, qop — security mechanism and quality of protection (QOP) files

SYNOPSIS

/etc/gss/mech

/etc/gss/qop

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/gss/mech and /etc/gss/qop files contain tables showing installed security mechanisms and the Quality of Protection (QOP) associated with them, respectively. These files are accessed by GSS-API calls; see gssapi(5).

As security mechanisms are installed on the system, entries are added to these two files.

Contents of these files may be accessed either manually or programmatically; for example, manually with cat(1) or more(1), or programmatically with either rpc_gss_get_mechanisms(3N) or rpc_gss_get_mech_info(3N).

/etc/gss/mech

The /etc/gss/mech file contains these fields:

mechanism name

ASCII string representing the mechanism.

object identifier

OID for this mechanism.

shared library

Shared library which implements the services provided by this mechanism.

kernel module

Kernel module which implements the services provided by this mechanism.

/etc/gss/qop

The /etc/gss/qop file contains these fields:

QOP string

Name, in ASCII, of this Quality of Protection.

QOP value

Numeric value by which QOP can be identified.

mechanism name

ASCII string representing the mechanism with which this QOP is associated.
