NAME
gss_inquire_cred_by_mech - obtain per-mechanism information about a
credential
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_inquire_cred_by_mech(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
const gss_cred_id_t cred_handle,const gss_OID mech_type,
gss_name_t *name, OM_uint32 *initiator_lifetime,
OM_uint32 *acceptor_lifetime, gss_cred_usage_t *cred_usage);
PARAMETERS
acceptor_lifetime The number of seconds that the credential is
capable of accepting security contexts under the
specified mechanism. If the credential can no
longer be used to accept contexts, or if the cre-
dential usage for this mechanism is GSS_C_INITI-
ATE, this parameter will be set to 0. Specify
NULL if this parameter is not required.
cred_handle A handle that refers to the target credential.
Specify GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL to inquire about the
default initiator principal.
cred_usage How the credential may be used with the specified
mechanism. 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.
initiator_lifetime The number of seconds that the credential is
capable of initiating security contexts under the
specified mechanism. If the credential can no
longer be used to initiate contexts, or if the
credential usage for this mechanism is
GSS_C_ACCEPT, this parameter will be set to 0.
Specify NULL if this parameter is not required.
mech_type The mechanism for which the information should be
returned.
minor_status A mechanism specific status code.
name The name whose identity the credential asserts.
Any storage associated with this name must be
freed by the application after use by a call to
gss_release_name(3GSS).
DESCRIPTION
The gss_inquire_cred_by_mech() function obtains per-mechanism informa-
tion about a credential.
ERRORS
The gss_inquire_cred_by_mech() function can return the following status
codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED The credentials cannot be added because
they have expired.
GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL The referenced credentials are invalid.
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.
GSS_S_NO_CRED The referenced credentials cannot be
accessed.
GSS_S_UNAVAILABLE The gss_inquire_cred_by_mech() function
is not available for the specified mecha-
nism type.
