+<p>The localauth interface was first introduced in release 1.12. It
+allows modules to control the relationship between Kerberos principals
+and local system accounts. When an application calls
+<a class="reference internal" href="../appdev/refs/api/krb5_kuserok.html#c.krb5_kuserok" title="krb5_kuserok"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">krb5_kuserok()</span></tt></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="../appdev/refs/api/krb5_aname_to_localname.html#c.krb5_aname_to_localname" title="krb5_aname_to_localname"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">krb5_aname_to_localname()</span></tt></a>, localauth
+modules are consulted to determine the result. For a detailed
+description of the localauth interface, see the header file
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;krb5/localauth_plugin.h&gt;</span></tt>.</p>
+<p>A module can create and destroy per-library-context state objects
+using the <strong>init</strong> and <strong>fini</strong> methods. If the module does not need
+any state, it does not need to implement these methods.</p>
+<p>The optional <strong>userok</strong> method allows a module to control the behavior
+of <a class="reference internal" href="../appdev/refs/api/krb5_kuserok.html#c.krb5_kuserok" title="krb5_kuserok"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">krb5_kuserok()</span></tt></a>. The module receives the authenticated name
+and the local account name as inputs, and can return either 0 to
+authorize access, KRB5_PLUGIN_NO_HANDLE to defer the decision to other
+modules, or another error (canonically EPERM) to authoritatively deny
+access. Access is granted if at least one module grants access and no
+module authoritatively denies access.</p>
+<p>The optional <strong>an2ln</strong> method can work in two different ways. If the
+module sets an array of uppercase type names in <strong>an2ln_types</strong>, then
+the module&#8217;s <strong>an2ln</strong> method will only be invoked by
+<a class="reference internal" href="../appdev/refs/api/krb5_aname_to_localname.html#c.krb5_aname_to_localname" title="krb5_aname_to_localname"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">krb5_aname_to_localname()</span></tt></a> if an <strong>auth_to_local</strong> value in
+<a class="reference internal" href="../admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html#krb5-conf-5"><em>krb5.conf</em></a> refers to one of the module&#8217;s types. In this
+case, the <em>type</em> and <em>residual</em> arguments will give the type name and
+residual string of the <strong>auth_to_local</strong> value.</p>
+<p>If the module does not set <strong>an2ln_types</strong> but does implement
+<strong>an2ln</strong>, the module&#8217;s <strong>an2ln</strong> method will be invoked for all
+<a class="reference internal" href="../appdev/refs/api/krb5_aname_to_localname.html#c.krb5_aname_to_localname" title="krb5_aname_to_localname"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">krb5_aname_to_localname()</span></tt></a> operations unless an earlier module
+determines a mapping, with <em>type</em> and <em>residual</em> set to NULL. The
+module can return KRB5_LNAME_NO_TRANS to defer mapping to later
+modules.</p>
+<p>If a module implements <strong>an2ln</strong>, it must also implement
+<strong>free_string</strong> to ensure that memory is allocated and deallocated
+consistently.</p>
