This function attempts to verify that *creds* were obtained from a KDC with knowledge of a key in *keytab* , or the default keytab if *keytab* is NULL. If *server* is provided, the highest-kvno key entry for that principal name is used to verify the credentials; otherwise, all unique"host"service principals in the keytab are tried.



If the specified keytab does not exist, or is empty, or cannot be read, or does not contain an entry for *server* , then credential verification may be skipped unless configuration demands that it succeed. The caller can control this behavior by providing a verification options structure; see :c:func:`krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_init()` and :c:func:`krb5_verify_init_creds_opt_set_ap_req_nofail()` .



If *ccache* is NULL, any additional credentials fetched during the verification process will be destroyed. If *ccache* points to NULL, a memory ccache will be created for the additional credentials and returned in *ccache* . If *ccache* points to a valid credential cache handle, the additional credentials will be stored in that cache.
