SecurityLevel2::Credentials::get_attributes

Synopsis

Gets the attribute list attached to the credentials.

OMG IDL Definition

Security::AttributeList get_attributes(
      in AttributeTypeList   attributes
);

Argument

attributes

The set of security attributes (privilege attribute types) whose values are desired. If this list is empty, all attributes are returned.

Description

This method returns the attribute list attached to the credentials of the principal. In the list of attribute types, you are required to include only the type value(s) for the attributes you want returned in the AttributeList. Attributes are not currently returned based on attribute family or identities. In most cases, this is the same result you would get if you called SecurityLevel1::Current::get_attributes(), since there is only one valid set of credentials in the principal at any instance in time. The results could be different if the credentials are not currently in use.

Return Values

Returns attribute list.
