This function performs the client side of a sendauth/recvauth exchange by sending and receiving messages over *fd* .



Credentials may be specified in three ways:



 
 
	 - If *in_creds* is NULL, credentials are obtained with krb5_get_credentials() using the principals *client* and *server* . *server* must be non-null; *client* may NULL to use the default principal of *ccache* .
 
 
 
	 - If *in_creds* is non-null, but does not contain a ticket, credentials for the exchange are obtained with krb5_get_credentials() using *in_creds* . In this case, the values of *client* and *server* are unused.
 
 
 
	 - If *in_creds* is a complete credentials structure, it used directly. In this case, the values of *client* , *server* , and *ccache* are unused.
 
 If the server is using a different application protocol than that specified in *appl_version* , an error will be returned.



Use krb5_free_creds() to free *out_creds* , krb5_free_ap_rep_enc_part() to free *rep_result* , and krb5_free_error() to free *error* when they are no longer needed.
