Samba's base64 encoder/decoder

[Mohan Narayanaswamy]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am trying to use samba3's ntlm_auth (gss-spnego helper) /winbindd
utilities for performing NTLM pass-through authentication against a AD
domain.  

My application uses libb64 (http://libb64.sourceforge.net/ ) and I am
facing a problem while sending "KK base64 encoded Type1 SPNEGO blob". 

 

Libb64 breaks ( inserts "\n" ) the output line after every 76 characters
and expects the decoder to ignore the  "\n".  ( most base64 encoders
claims that this is a standard)

But samba's base64 decoder does not seem to ignore the "\n".  

 

Should I use only samba's encode/decode when I play with ntlm_auth ?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mohan
