NAME
gss_delete_sec_context - delete a GSS-API security context
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_delete_sec_context(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle,gss_buffer_t output_token);
DESCRIPTION
Use the gss_delete_sec_context() function to delete a security context.
The gss_delete_sec_context() function will delete the local data struc-
tures associated with the specified security context. You may not
obtain further security services that use the context specified by con-
text_handle.
In addition to deleting established security contexts,
gss_delete_sec_context() will delete any half-built security contexts
that result from incomplete sequences of calls to gss_init_sec_con-
text(3GSS) and gss_accept_sec_context(3GSS).
The Solaris implementation of the GSS-API retains the output_token
parameter for compatibility with version 1 of the GSS-API. Both peer
applications should invoke gss_delete_sec_context(), passing the value
GSS_C_NO_BUFFER to the output_token parameter; this indicates that no
token is required. If the application passes a valid buffer to
gss_delete_sec_context(), it will return a zero-length token, indicat-
ing that no token should be transferred by the application.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_delete_sec_context() follow:
minor_status A mechanism specific status code.
context_handle Context handle identifying specific context to
delete. After deleting the context, the GSS-API will
set context_handle to GSS_C_NO_CONTEXT.
output_token A token to be sent to remote applications that
instructs them to delete the context.
ERRORS
gss_delete_sec_context() may return the following status codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT No valid context was supplied.
GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for
which no specific GSS status code is defined. The
mechanism-specific status code reported by means of
the minor_status parameter details the error condi-
tion.
