Token size specification

[lambdax-x]

When performing a negociation step such as shown in the code proposed in the documentation, it is not specified what size the client and the service should expect for an incoming token.

Can you clarify what your issue is here?. Applications making use of GSSAPI are expected to define a protocol for transmitting the token that includes details like how much the other end of the connection needs to read to obtain the whole token.

I could send the token along with its size computed on the fly of course but I was wondering if the token size is fixed or, at least, bounded.

It is mechanism specific and there is no fixed size.
