I agree with the above.
I also think that the simple client referred to in the subject has a
bunch of anti-patterns.
As an example, I don't think it integrity protects or encrypts its
exchanges; I think it's too simple to actually be useful in today's
world.

That said,  it looks like krb5_auth_con_genaddrs is probably the API you
want to use instead of krb5_gen_portaddr.  It takes an auth context and
a socet FD and extracts addresses from the socket FD.

I suspect that the auth context machinery will generate the replay cache
name for you, and again,  you don't need that API either.
But please use GSS-API instead:-)
