NAME
gss_inquire_cred - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h>
OM_uint32 gss_inquire_cred(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const
gss_cred_id_t cred_handle, gss_name_t * name, OM_uint32 * lifetime,
gss_cred_usage_t * cred_usage, gss_OID_set * mechanisms);
ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status
(integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
const gss_cred_id_t cred_handle
(gss_cred_id_t, read) A handle that refers to the
target credential. Specify GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL to
inquire about
the default initiator principal.
gss_name_t * name
(gss_name_t, modify, optional) The name whose identity the
credential asserts. Storage associated with this name
should be
freed by the application after use with a call to
gss_release_name(). Specify NULL if not required.
OM_uint32 * lifetime
(Integer, modify, optional) The number of seconds for
which the credential will remain valid. If the
credential has
expired, this parameter will be set to zero. If the
implementation does not support credential expiration,
the value
GSS_C_INDEFINITE will be returned. Specify NULL if not
required.
gss_cred_usage_t * cred_usage
(gss_cred_usage_t, modify, optional) How the
credential may be used. One of the following:
GSS_C_INITIATE,
GSS_C_ACCEPT, GSS_C_BOTH. Specify NULL if not required.
gss_OID_set * mechanisms
(gss_OID_set, modify, optional) Set of mechanisms
supported by the credential. Storage associated with
this OID
set must be freed by the application after use with a
call to
gss_release_oid_set(). Specify NULL if not required.
DESCRIPTION
Obtains information about a credential.
RETURN VALUE
‘GSS_S_COMPLETE‘: Successful completion.
‘GSS_S_NO_CRED‘: The referenced credentials could not be accessed.
‘GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL‘: The referenced credentials were invalid.
‘GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED‘: The referenced credentials have expired.
If the lifetime parameter was not passed as NULL, it will be set to 0.
