=head1 NAME

Wallet::Kadmin - Kadmin module wrapper for wallet keytabs

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $kadmin = Wallet::Kadmin->new ();
    $kadmin->addprinc ("host/shell.example.com");
    $kadmin->ktadd ("host/shell.example.com", "aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96");
    my $exists = $kadmin->exists ("host/oldshell.example.com");
    $kadmin->delprinc ("host/oldshell.example.com") if $exists;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Wallet::Kadmin is a wrapper to modules that provide an interface for keytab
integration with the wallet.  Each module is meant to interface with a
specific type of Kerberos implementation, such as MIT Kerberos or Heimdal
Kerberos, and provide a standndard set of API calls used to interact with
that implementation's kadmind.

The class simply uses Wallet::Config to find which type of kadmind we have
requested to use, and then returns an object to use for interacting with
that kadmind.

A keytab is an on-disk store for the key or keys for a Kerberos principal.
Keytabs are used by services to verify incoming authentication from clients
or by automated processes that need to authenticate to Kerberos.  To create
a keytab, the principal has to be created in Kerberos and then a keytab is
generated and stored in a file on disk.

To use this object, several configuration parameters must be set.  See
Wallet::Config(3) for details on those configuration parameters and
information about how to set wallet configuration.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item new()

Finds the proper Kerberos implementation and calls the new() constructor for
that implementation's module, returning the result.  If the implementation
is not recognized or set, die with an error message.
