Kerberos environment under windows

Hi,

actually I'm trying to write a C app (similar to the sample gss-client
and gss-server) that should use the test realm instead of the real
Windows Domain based realm. Where do I have to put the krb5.ini? I
copied it to %SystemRoot% but it doesn't seem to be recognized...

Hitherto my code looks like:

    srv_name = "test-service at myhost";

    srv_name_buff.value = srv_name;
    srv_name_buff.length = strlen(srv_name);
	
    maj_stat = gss_import_name(&min_stat, &srv_name_buff,
	        (gss_OID) gss_nt_service_name,
	        &srv_gss_name);

    maj_stat = gss_display_name(&min_stat, srv_gss_name, &srv_name_buff,
              (gss_OID *) NULL);

    printf("srv_name = %s\n", (char*) srv_name_buff.value);

And the output of this snippet is:

    srv_name = test-service/myhost at MY.WINDOWS.DOMAIN.REALM

But in %SystemRoot%\krb5.ini I set the default realm to
MY.KRBTEST.REALM...

Additionally I need a way to specify the keytab file used to lookup the
pass for test-service. Is there another way than specifying
default_keytab_file in the krb5.ini? And how do I tell my programm to
use the keytab to acquire the service credentials?

Best Regards,
Daniel.

Edit the krb5.ini file and specify your test realm,  Then just kinit to 
a user in that realm before starting putty.  No need to do anything in 
C.
