Using Security in CORBA Applications

DITobj_PrincipalAuthenticator.logoff

Synopsis

Discards the current security context associated with the CORBA client application.

MIDL Mapping

HRESULT logoff([in, out, optional] VARIANT* exceptionInfo);

Automation Mapping

Sub logoff([exceptionInfo])

Description

This call discards the context associated with the CORBA client application, but does not close the network connections to the BEA Tuxedo domain. Logoff also invalidates the current credentials. After logging off, calls using existing object references fail if the authentication type is not TOBJ_NOAUTH.

If the client application is currently authenticated to a BEA Tuxedo domain, calling Tobj_Bootstrap.destroy_current() calls logoff implicitly.

Argument

exceptioninfo

An optional input argument that allows the client application to get additional exception data if an error occurs. For the ActiveX client applications, all exception data is returned in the OLE Automation Error Object.

Return Values

None.

DISecurityLevel2_Credentials

The DISecurityLevel2_Credentials object is a BEA implementation of the CORBA Security model. In this release of the BEA Tuxedo software, the get_attributes() and is_valid() methods are supported.
