Basic GSS-API Data Types

These are some of the data types used by the GSS-API.

OM_uint32

The OM_uint32 is a platform-independent 32–bit unsigned integer.

gss_buffer_desc

This is the definition of the gss_buffer_desc and the gss_buffer_t pointer:

typedef struct gss_buffer_desc_struct {
        size_t length;
        void *value;
} gss_buffer_desc, *gss_buffer_t;

gss_OID_desc

This is the definition of the gss_OID_desc and the gss_OID pointer:

typedef struct gss_OID_desc_struct {
        OM_uint32 length;
        void*elements;
} gss_OID_desc, *gss_OID;

gss_OID_set_desc

This is the definition of the gss_OID_set_desc and the gss_OID_set pointer:

typedef struct gss_OID_set_desc_struct  {
        size_t  count;
        gss_OID elements;
} gss_OID_set_desc, *gss_OID_set;

gss_channel_bindings_struct

This is the definition of the gss_channel_bindings_struct structure and the gss_channel_bindings_t pointer:

typedef struct gss_channel_bindings_struct {
        OM_uint32 initiator_addrtype;
        gss_buffer_desc initiator_address;
        OM_uint32 acceptor_addrtype;
        gss_buffer_desc acceptor_address;
        gss_buffer_desc application_data;
} *gss_channel_bindings_t;
