The gss-client application needs to wrap, that is, encrypt the data before the data can be sent. The application goes through the following steps to wrap the message:
Determines the wrap size limit. This process ensures that the wrapped message can be accommodated by the protocol.
Obtains the source and destination names. Translates the names from object identifiers to strings.
Gets the list of mechanism names. Translates the names from object identifiers to strings.
Inserts the message into a buffer and wraps the message.
Sends the message to the server.
The following source code wraps a message.
The source code for this example is also available through the Sun download center. See http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=41912db5.
