NAME [Toc] [Back]
gss_inquire_cred_by_mech() - provide the calling application permechanism
information about a credential
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <gssapi.h>.C
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,
int *cred_usage)
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The gss_inquire_cred_by_mech() routine provides per-mechanism
information about a credential.
Input Parameters [Toc] [Back]
cred_handle Specifies a handle for the target credential.
To get information about the default credential,
specify GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL.
mech_type Set of security mechanisms for which information
should be returned.
Output Parameters [Toc] [Back]
name Returns the principal name asserted by the
credential. If the principal name is not
required, specify NULL.
initiator_lifetime Returns the number of seconds for which the
credential will remain 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 zero.
If the implementation does not support
expiration of initiator credentials, the
parameter returns the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE.
If an expiration time is not required, specify
NULL.
acceptor_lifetime Returns the number of seconds for which the
credential will remain capable of accepting
security contexts under the specified mechanism.

If the implementation does not support
expiration of initiator credentials, the
parameter returns the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE.
If an expiration time is not required, specify
NULL.
cred_usage Returns one of the following values describing
how the application can use the credential:
GSS_C_INITIATE [Toc] [Back]
GSS_C_ACCEPT
GSS_C_BOTH
If no usage information is required, specify
NULL.
minor_status Returns a status code from the security
mechanism.
STATUS CODES [Toc] [Back]
The following status codes can be returned:
GSS_S_COMPLETE The routine was completed successfully.
GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED [Toc] [Back]
The credentials expired. If the lifetime
parameter was passed as NULL, it is set to 0
(zero).
GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL [Toc] [Back]
The credentials were invalid.
GSS_S_FAILURE The routine failed. Check the minor_status
parameter for details.
GSS_S_NO_CRED The routine could not access the credentials.
