session-keyring

SESSION-KEYRING(7)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						SESSION-KEYRING(7)

NAME

       session-keyring - session shared process keyring

DESCRIPTION

       The session keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process.  It is typically created by pam_keyinit(8) when a user logs in
       and a link will be added that refers to the user-keyring(7).  Optionally, PAM may revoke the session keyring on logout.	(In  typical  con-
       figurations, PAM does do this revocation.)  The session keyring has the name (description) _ses.

       A  special  serial  number  value, KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, is defined that can be used in lieu of the actual serial number of the calling
       process's session keyring.

       From the keyctl(1) utility, '@s' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in much the same way.

       A process's session keyring is inherited across clone(2), fork(2), and vfork(2).  The session keyring is preserved across  execve(2),  even
       when the executable is set-user-ID or set-group-ID or has capabilities.	The session keyring is destroyed when the last process that refers
       to it exits.

       If a process doesn't have a session keyring when it is accessed, then, under certain circumstances,  the  user-session-keyring(7)  will	be
       attached as the session keyring and under others a new session keyring will be created.	(See user-session-keyring(7) for further details.)

   Special operations
       The keyutils library provides the following special operations for manipulating session keyrings:

       keyctl_join_session_keyring(3)
	      This  operation allows the caller to change the session keyring that it subscribes to.  The caller can join an existing keyring with
	      a specified name (description), create a new keyring with a given name, or ask the  kernel  to  create  a  new  "anonymous"  session
	      keyring with the name "_ses".  (This function is an interface to the keyctl(2) KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation.)

       keyctl_session_to_parent(3)
	      This operation allows the caller to make the parent process's session keyring to the same as its own.  For this to succeed, the par-
	      ent process must have identical security attributes and must be single threaded.	(This function is an interface	to  the  keyctl(2)
	      KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT operation.)

       These operations are also exposed through the keyctl(1) utility as:

	   keyctl session
	   keyctl session - [<prog> <arg1> <arg2> ...]
	   keyctl session <name> [<prog> <arg1> <arg2> ...]

       and:

	   keyctl new_session
