# krb5_c_string_to_key_with_params - Convert a string (such as a password) to a key with additional parameters.

krb5_error_code `krb5_c_string_to_key_with_params`(krb5_context context, krb5_enctype enctype, const krb5_data * string, const krb5_data * salt, const krb5_data * params, krb5_keyblock * key)

param: | [in] context - Library context [in] enctype - Encryption type [in] string - String to be converted [in] salt - Salt value [in] params - Parameters [out] key - Generated key

retval: | 0 Success; otherwise - Kerberos error codes

This function is similar to `krb5_c_string_to_key()` , but also takes parameters which may affect the algorithm in an enctype-dependent way. The newly created key must be released by calling `krb5_free_keyblock_contents()` when it is no longer needed.
