NAME
gss_inquire_cred -- Obtain information about a credential
SYNOPSIS
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32
gss_inquire_cred(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_cred_id_t cred_handle, gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle, gss_name_t *name,
OM_uint32 *lifetime, gss_cred_usage_t *cred_usage, gss_OID_set *mechanisms);
DESCRIPTION
Obtains information about a credential.
PARAMETERS
minor_status Mechanism specific status code.
cred_handle A handle that refers to the target credential. Specify GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL to inquire about the default initiator principal.
name 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.
lifetime 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.
cred_usage How the credential may be used. One of the following:
GSS_C_INITIATE
GSS_C_ACCEPT
GSS_C_BOTH
Specify NULL if not required.
mechanisms 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.
RETURN VALUES
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
