NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       gss_import_sec_context  - Import a security context established
 by another process.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_import_sec_context(
               OM_uint32 * minor_status,
               const gss_buffer_t interprocess_token,
               gss_ctx_id_t * context_handle );

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Kerberos 5 error code.  Token received from the  exporting
       process.  After  this call, the token is no longer needed.
       Security context imported by this function.

              The application must release  resources  associated
              with   the   context  after  use  with  a  call  to
              gss_delete_sec_context().

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The gss_import_sec_context() function allows a process  to
       import  a security context established by another process.

       A given interprocess token should be imported only once.

                                  Note

       Because of the way sequence  numbers  are  incremented  in
       security  contexts,  a single security context must not be
       used with multiple initiators and acceptors.

       After use, the application must release resources  associated
  with  the context with a call to gss_delete_sec_context().
