gss_export_sec_context(3) Library Functions Manual gss_export_sec_context(3)NAME
gss_export_sec_context() - transfer a security context to another process on a single machine
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The deactivates the security context for the calling process and creates an interprocess token which, when passed to in another
process, will re-activate the context in the second process.
Only a single instantiation of a given context may be active at any one time; a subsequent attempt by a context exporter to access the
exported security context will fail. is created such that it is functionally identical to the original context.
If creation of the interprocess token is successful, the implementation shall deallocate all process-wide resources associated with the
security context, and set the context_handle to The ability to transfer a security context is indicated when the context is created, by or
setting the bit in their ret_flags parameter.
Input Parameters
context_handle Specifies the context handle identifying the context to transfer.
interprocess_token Specifies the token to be transferred to target process.
Output Parameters
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 expired
The supplied context handle did not refer to a valid context.
The operation is not supported.

gss_process_context_token() - process a context to the security service
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
The routine passes tokens generated by the routine to the security service.
Usually, tokens are associated with either the context establishment or with per-message security services. If the tokens are associated
with the context establishment, they are passed to the or routine. If the tokens are associated with the per-message security service,
they are passed to the or routine.
Tokens generated by the routine are passed by the routine to the security service for processing.
Input Parameters
context_handle Specifies the context handle on which the security service processes the token.
input_token_buffer Specifies an opaque pointer to the first byte of the token to be processed.
Output Parameters
minor_status Returns a status code from the security mechanism.
STATUS CODES
The following status codes can be returned:
The routine was completed successfully.
Consistency checks performed on the
input_token parameter failed.
The routine failed. See the
minor_status parameter return value for more information.
The supplied context handle did not refer to a valid context.
