NAME

       gss_release_cred - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gss.h>

       OM_uint32  gss_release_cred(OM_uint32  *  minor_status, gss_cred_id_t *
       cred_handle);

ARGUMENTS

       OM_uint32 * minor_status
                   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       gss_cred_id_t * cred_handle
                   (gss_cred_id_t, modify, optional) Opaque handle
                     identifying    credential    to    be    released.     If
                   GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL is
                     supplied,  the  routine  will  complete successfully, but
                   will do
                     nothing.

DESCRIPTION

       Informs GSS-API that the  specified  credential  handle  is  no  longer
       required  by  the  application,  and  frees  associated resources.  The
       cred_handle is set to GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL on successful  completion  of
       this call.

RETURN VALUE

       ‘GSS_S_COMPLETE‘: Successful completion.

       ‘GSS_S_NO_CRED‘: Credentials could not be accessed.
