Samba4 Port: hdb & ldb Interfaces

This page aims to reduce the confusion about

1. Two hdb libraries (one each for Samba4 & Heimdal);
2. Samba4's LDB library, and
3. Samba4's ldb library.

---

Heimdal's hdb Interface to Samba4's LDB

Samba4's file kdc/hdb-samba4.c contains the LDB_ functions, which only Samba4 uses directly.

In Samba4's heimdal/lib/hdb/hdb.h, Heimdal's HDB structure contains "hdb-" prefixed function-pointers to the LDB functions. Only Heimdal uses this function-pointer interface to Samba4's LDB_ functions:

1. (HDB *)->hdb_dbc = NULL;
2. (HDB *)->hdb_open = LDB_open;
3. (HDB *)->hdb_close = LDB_close;
4. (HDB *)->hdb_fetch = LDB_fetch;
5. (HDB *)->hdb_store = LDB_store;
6. (HDB *)->hdb_remove = LDB_remove;
7. (HDB *)->hdb_firstkey = LDB_firstkey;
8. (HDB *)->hdb_nextkey = LDB_nextkey;
9. (HDB *)->hdb_lock = LDB_lock;
10. (HDB *)->hdb_unlock = LDB_unlock;
11. (HDB *)->hdb_rename = LDB_rename;
12. (HDB *)->hdb__get = NULL;
13. (HDB *)->hdb__put = NULL;
14. (HDB *)->hdb__del = NULL;
15. (HDB *)->hdb_destroy = LDB_destroy;

Samba4's hdb_ library also includes a local function invoked via a function-pointer:

1. hdb_ldb_free_entry in kdc/hdb-samba4.c

The function-pointer gets used by both Heimdal & Samba4.

---

Heimdal's internal hdb library

This library isn't completely "internal," because four of these routines get used by Samba, too:

1. initialize_hdb_error_table_r
2. free_hdb_entry
3. hdb_enctype2key
4. hdb_free_entry

Further, the global struct hdb_kt_ops{} gets used only by Samba4.
