NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       gss_context_time  -  Determine remaining lifetime of security
 context.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_context_time(
               OM_uint32 * minor_status,
               const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle,
               OM_uint32 * time_rec );

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Kerberos 5 error code.  Security context  to  be  queried.
       Number of seconds that remain in the lifetime of the security
 context. Since the HP Application Security  SDK  does
       not support context expiration, the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE
       is always returned.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The gss_context_time() function returns the number of seconds
 remaining in the security context's lifetime.

       The  HP  Application Security SDK does not support context
       expiration. A security context established using the  Kerberos
  5  security  mechanism  does not expire because the
       authentication process  establishes  long-lived  symmetric
       session keys.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ    01xxxxxx
       GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE   02xxxxxx
       GSS_S_COMPLETE                  00000000
       GSS_S_FAILURE                   xx0Dxxxx
       GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT                xx08xxxx

PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  HP Application Security Toolkit does not support context
 expiration.
