DESCRIPTION

These functions get application defaults from the appdefaults section of the krb5.conf5 configuration file. These defaults can be specified per application, and/or per realm.

These values will be looked for in krb5.conf5, in order of descending importance.

[appdefaults]
        appname = {
                realm = {
                        option = value
                }
        }
        appname = {
                option = value
        }
        realm = {
                option = value
        }
        option = value

Fa appname is the name of the application, and Fa realm is the realm name. If the realm is omitted it will not be used for resolving values. Fa def_val is the value to return if no value is found in krb5.conf5.
