The only use of WITH_KRB5 and WITH_GSSAPI in LO appears to be the PostgreSQL
support (see connectivity/Library_postgresql-sdbc-impl.mk and
external/postgresql/ExternalProject_postgresql.mk). Is there some
documentation how to test whether the use of krb5 and gssapi in the
PostgreSQL support actually works?
Try to connect to a PostgreSQL support with GSSAPI and Kerberos?
For the record: Found a PostgreSQL server inside RH that I could access
with my RH Kerberos credentials. What I tested was "File - New -
Database", then on the wizard's first "Select database" page "Connect to
an existing database: PostgreSQL", on the second "Connection settings"
page specify "host=... port=5433 dbname=public sslmode=require", and on
the third "Set up user authentication" page leave everything blank and
click "Test Connection". This worked with a local Linux LO build,
announcing a successful test of the connection.
For both the current LO 6.3.2 Flathub build against
org.freedesktop.Sdk//18.08 (where krb5 is included in the runtime), as
well as for a local LO 6.3.2 Flatpak build of
<https://github.com/flathub/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice/pull/104>
"Freedesktop19.08" (against org.freedesktop.Sdk//19.08, where krb5 is no
longer included in the runtime, but where I bundle it with LO), it
worked as follows:
The test failed to access my Kerberos ticket from outside the Flatpak
sandbox (the connection test reporting an error ending in "GSSAPI
continuation error: No Kerberos credentials available (default cache:
FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000)"). But it worked when I explicitly obtained a
ticket inside the sandbox first (`flatpak run --command=bash
org.libreoffice.LibreOffice`, then in the sandbox `kinit ... &&
/app/libreoffice/program/soffice`).
