Fixed In Version: krb5-1.12.2-7.el7 Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: In addition to reading a list of GSSAPI mechanism plugins from /etc/gss/mech, the GSSAPI library now also reads configuration files found in the /etc/gss/mech.d directory which match the pattern "*.conf". Reason: This allows packages which provide such plugins (for example, gssproxy) to avoid needing to modify the /etc/gss/mech file directly when those packages are installed or removed.
