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.
