I'm playing with integrating the gssapi into node.js. Im not sure how to represent this:

The gss_init_sec_context function contains many struct based parameters, some of which are nested pretty deeply. For example this struct:

typedef struct gss_ctx_id_struct
{
  gss_OID mech;
#ifdef USE_KERBEROS5
  struct _gss_krb5_ctx_struct *krb5;
#endif
} gss_ctx_id_desc;

So based on this I'm guessing I need to implement some kind of Structure (with ref-struct) to represent the krb5 pointer (since kerberos5 is being used). So I looked at this _gss_krb_ctx_struct and saw this...

 typedef struct _gss_krb5_ctx_struct {
   Shishi *sh;
   Shishi_ap *ap;
   Shishi_tkt *tkt;
   Shishi_key *key;
   gss_name_t peerptr;
   int acceptor;
   uint32_t acceptseqnr;
   uint32_t initseqnr;
   OM_uint32 flags;
   int reqdone;
   int repdone;
 } _gss_krb5_ctx_desc, *_gss_krb5_ctx_t;

Where Shishi is a pointer to a library, and shishi_ap appears to be a pointer to a function. I'm not sure how to implement these things in node-ffi. Can someone give me some guidance here?

    I will just say that when I did a Kerberos integration project, I studied GSSAPI and ended up using SASL (which underneath can use GSSAPI on your behalf). So if you get stuck with GSSAPI, consider SASL as an easier-to-use alternative. – John Zwinck Dec 14 '15 at 07:58
