Privilege Server Interface (rpriv) Operations

The rpriv_get_ptgt( ) operation returns a privilege certificate to the ticket-granting service. The caller supplies the group set, and the Privilege Server seals the group set in the authorization part of a privilege ticket-granting ticket, after first rejecting any groups that are not legitimately part of the caller credentials. A group is rejected if the caller is not a member of the group, or the group is not allowed on project lists (the projlist_ok flag is not set).

There is no access control on this interface other than what was within the Kerberos ticket-granting mechanism itself; that is, the TGS request verification. This call may result in growth of potential access set. Note that this is a pre-DCE 1.1 routine.
