NAME
gss_inquire_cred - obtain information about a credential
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_inquire_cred(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
const gss_cred_id_t cred_handle,gss_name_t *name,
OM_uint32 *lifetime, gss_cred_usage_t *cred_usage,
gss_OID_set *mechanisms);
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_inquire_cred() follow:
minor_status Mechanism specific status code.
cred_handle Handle that refers to the target credential. Specify
GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL to inquire about the default ini-
tiator principal.
name Name of the identity asserted by the credential. Any
storage associated with this name should be freed by
the application after use by a call to
gss_release_name(3GSS).
lifetime Number of seconds for which the credential remains
valid. If the credential has expired, this parameter
will be set to zero. Specify NULL if the parameter is
not required.
cred_usage Flag that indicates how a credential is used. The
cred_usage parameter may contain one of the following
values: GSS_C_INITIATE, GSS_C_ACCEPT, or GSS_C_BOTH.
Specify NULL if this parameter is not required.
mechanisms Set of mechanisms supported by the credential. Storage
for the returned OID-set must be freed by the applica-
tion after use by a call to gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).
Specify NULL if this parameter is not required.
DESCRIPTION
Use the gss_inquire_cred() function to obtain information about a cre-
dential.
RETURN VALUES
The gss_inquire_cred() function can return the following status codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
GSS_S_NO_CRED The referenced credentials could not be
accessed.
GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL The referenced credentials were invalid.
GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED The referenced credentials have expired.
If the lifetime parameter was not passed
as NULL, it will be set to 0.
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
condition.
