SYNOPSIS

#include <gssapi.h>

OM_uint32 gss_inquire_cred (

OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_cred_id_t cred_handle, gss_name_t *name, OM_uint32 *lifetime, int *cred_usage, gss_OID_set *mechs)

DESCRIPTION

The gss_inquire_cred() routine provides information about a credential to the calling application. The calling application must first have called the gss_acquire_cred() routine for a handle for the credential.

Input Parameters

cred_handle

Specifies a handle for the target credential. To get information about the default credential, specify GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL.

Output Parameters

name

Returns the principal name asserted by the credential. If the principal name is not required, specify NULL.

lifetime

Returns the number of seconds for which the credential will remain valid.

If the credential expired, the parameter returns a 0 (zero). If there is no credential expiration, the parameter returns the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE. If an expiration time is not required, specify NULL.

cred_usage

Returns one of the following values describing how the application can use the credential:

GSS_C_INITIATE

GSS_C_ACCEPT

GSS_C_BOTH

If no usage information is required, specify NULL.

mechs

Returns a set of security mechanisms supported by the credential.

minor_status

Returns a status code from the security mechanism.

GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED

The credentials expired. If the lifetime parameter was passed as NULL, it is set to 0 (zero).

GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL
