19 The parameter descriptions for gss_inquire_cred() follow:
20
21 minor_status Mechanism specific status code.
22
23
24 cred_handle Handle that refers to the target credential. Specify
25 GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL to inquire about the default ini‐
26 tiator principal.
27
28
29 name Name of the identity asserted by the credential. Any
30 storage associated with this name should be freed by
31 the application after use by a call to
32 gss_release_name(3GSS).
33
34
35 lifetime Number of seconds for which the credential remains
36 valid. If the credential has expired, this parameter
37 will be set to zero. Specify NULL if the parameter is
38 not required.
39
40
41 cred_usage Flag that indicates how a credential is used. The
42 cred_usage parameter may contain one of the following
43 values: GSS_C_INITIATE, GSS_C_ACCEPT, or GSS_C_BOTH.
44 Specify NULL if this parameter is not required.
45
46
47 mechanisms Set of mechanisms supported by the credential. Storage
48 for the returned OID-set must be freed by the applica‐
49 tion after use by a call to gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).
50 Specify NULL if this parameter is not required.
51
52
54 Use the gss_inquire_cred() function to obtain information about a cre‐
55 dential.
56
58 The gss_inquire_cred() function can return the following status codes:
59
60 GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
61
62
63 GSS_S_NO_CRED The referenced credentials could not be
64 accessed.
65
66
67 GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL The referenced credentials were invalid.
68
69
70 GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED The referenced credentials have expired.
71 If the lifetime parameter was not passed
72 as NULL, it will be set to 0.
73
74
75 GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an
76 error for which no specific GSS status
77 code is defined. The mechanism-specific
78 status code reported by means of the
79 minor_status parameter details the error
80 condition.
