Parameter
snc/gssapi_lib
Short text
File name for external GSS-API shared library
Parameter Description
You use this parameter to configure the name of the GSS-API v2 shared library, which must be delivered by the manufacturer of an independent network security software.
If the SNC module is activated with the profile parameter “snc/enable =1”, it tries to dynamically load the specified fiel with the help of the runtime linker of the operating system. The naming convention for shared libraries or “shared objects” regarding the end of the file name differs from one operating system to the next (“.o”, “.so”, “.sl”, “.dll”, …), as well as load behaviour, if the shared object used contains dynamic references to other shared objects/libraries.
If the shared object has additional dynamic references, on UNIX platforms you should first correctly set the search path of the dynamic loader using an environment variant, before the shared object can be successfully loaded. LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Solaris, Sinix, OSF/1), SHLIB_PATH (HP-UX), LIB_PATH (AIX)
If the library cannot be loaded, for example, because it cannot be found or you do not have sufficient authorization to access it, the work process terminates.
