kerb_request

This is meant to be a Node.js library for doing web requests against a web server that is protected by Kerberos. In reality, it's just a wrapper around some command line tools (kinit, kdestroy and curl).

Prerequisites

This module requires certain command line utilities to be installed to the machine before it can be used.

sudo apt-get install -y krb5-user libkrb53 curl

Installation

npm install kerb_request

Example usage

In a file named request:

#!/usr/bin/env node

var kerb_request = require('kerb_request');

if (process.argv.length != 5) {
   console.log('USAGE: ' + __filename + ' <username> <password> <url>');
   process.exit(1);
}

var arguments = process.argv.slice(0);
var executable = arguments.shift(); // throw away
var programFile = arguments.shift(); // throw away

var username = arguments.shift();
var password = arguments.shift();
var url = arguments.shift();

kerb_request(username, password, url);

Then run it using:

./request [e-mail] 'my_pass_word' http://protected-site.domain.lan
