NAME

       gss_get_mic() - calculate a cryptographic message integrity code (MIC) for a message and return in a token

SYNOPSIS

       DESCRIPTION
	      The routine generates a cryptographic message integrity code (MIC) for the supplied message and places the MIC in a token for trans-
	      fer to the peer application.  The qop_req parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms, if	supported  by  the
	      chosen mechanism.

   Input Parameters
       context_handle	     Specifies the context on which the message is sent.

       qop_req		     Specifies the cryptographic algorithm, or quality of protection.  To accept the default quality of protection offered
			     by the chosen mechanism specify

       message_buffer	     Specifies the message to be protected.

   Output Parameters
       msg_token	     Buffer to receive the sealed message.

       minor_status	     Returns a status code from the security mechanism.

STATUS CODES

       The following status codes can be returned:

       The routine was completed successfully.

       The context has already expired.

       The context is recognized but the associated
				credentials have expired.

       The context identified in the
				context_handle parameter was not valid.

       The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
