# GSSAPI-Unix
GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface) is a function interface that provides security services for applications in a mechanism-independent way. This allows different security mechanisms to be used via one standardized API.
 
GSSAPI-Unix provides a GSSAPI mechanism to authenticate security principals defined in /etc/passwd on UNIX and LINUX systems.
