 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      gss_process_context_token() - process a context to the security
      service

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <gssapi.h>

      OM_uint32 gss_process_context_token (    [Toc]    [Back]
                OM_uint32 *minor_status,
                const gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle,
                const gss_buffer_t input_token_buffer)

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The gss_process_context_token() routine passes tokens generated by the
      gss_delete_security_context() routine to the security service.

      Usually, tokens are associated with either the context establishment
      or with per-message security services.  If the tokens are associated
      with the context establishment, they are passed to the
      gss_init_sec_context() or gss_accept_sec_context() routine.  If the
      tokens are associated with the per-message security service, they are
      passed to the gss_verify() or gss_unseal() routine.

      Tokens generated by the gss_delete_security_context() routine are
      passed by the gss_process_context_token() routine to the security
      service for processing.

    Input Parameters    [Toc]    [Back]
      context_handle        Specifies the context handle on which the
                            security service processes the token.

      input_token_buffer    Specifies an opaque pointer to the first byte of
                            the token to be processed.

    Output Parameters    [Toc]    [Back]
      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_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN    Consistency checks performed on the
                               input_token parameter failed.

      GSS_S_FAILURE            The routine failed. See the minor_status
                               parameter return value for more information.

      GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT         The supplied context handle did not refer to
                               a valid context.
