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).
ERRORSgss_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 ref‐
erence.
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 con‐
text by the current process.
GSS_S_FAILURE
The underlying mechanism detected an error for
which no specific GSS status code is defined.
The mechanism-specific status code reported by
means of the minor_status parameter details
the error condition.
