NAME
       gss_import_sec_context - import security context established by another process

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss  [ library... ]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_import_sec_context(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
	    const gss_buffer_t interprocess_token,gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle);

DESCRIPTION
       The  gss_import_sec_context()  function	allows a process to import a security context established by another process. A given interprocess
       token can be imported only once. See gss_export_sec_context(3GSS).

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_import_sec_context() are as follows:

       minor_status	     A mechanism-specific status code.

       interprocess_token    Token received from exporting process.

       context_handle	     Context handle of newly reactivated context. Resources associated with this context handle must be  released  by  the
			     application after use with a call to gss_delete_sec_context(3GSS).

ERRORS
       gss_import_sec_context() returns one of the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE		Successful completion.

       GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT 	The token did not contain a valid context reference.

       GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN	The token was invalid.

       GSS_S_UNAVAILABLE	The operation is unavailable.

       GSS_S_UNAUTHORIZED	Local policy prevents the import of this context by the current process.

       GSS_S_FAILURE		The  underlying  mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined.	The mechanism-spe-
				cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
