NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       gss_delete_sec_context - Release a security context.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_delete_sec_context(
               OM_uint32 * minor_status,
               gss_ctx_id_t * context_handle,
               gss_buffer_t output_token );

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Kerberos  5  error  code.  Security context to be deleted.
       After the context is deleted, this  parameter  is  set  to
       GSS_C_NO_CONTEXT.   Token  to be sent to the peer application,
 instructing it to delete the security context.

              Specify GSS_C_NO_BUFFER to request  local  deletion
              only.  Output tokens are provided for Verson 1 compatibility.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The gss_delete_sec_context() function releases a  security
       context. The security context is then unusable for further
       message protection.

       Local data structures associated with the security context
       are  released.   A delete token may be generated. The purpose
 of the delete token is to tell the remote peer application
 to delete its security context.

                                  Note

       This function removes the memory associated with the security
 context, but  it  does  not  delete  any  credentials
       stored in the cache.
