Detailed Description

Delegation Functions.

Functions in this section allow delegation to occur outside of the context initiation handshake.

Accept a delegated credential.

This functions drives the accepting side of the credential delegation process. It is expected to be called in tandem with the gss_init_delegation function.

Parameters

minor_status	The minor status returned by this function. This parameter will be 0 upon success.
context_handle	The security context over which the credential is delegated.
extension_oids	A set of extension OIDs corresponding to buffers in the extension_buffers parameter below. May be GSS_C_NO_BUFFER_SET. Currently not used.
extension_buffers	A set of extension buffers corresponding to OIDs in the extension_oids parameter above. May be GSS_C_NO_BUFFER_SET. Currently not used.
input_token	The token that was produced by a prior call to gss_init_delegation.
req_flags	Flags that modify the behavior of the function. Currently only GSS_C_GLOBUS_SSL_COMPATIBLE is checked for. This flag results in tokens that aren't wrapped.
time_req	The requested period of validity (seconds) of the delegated credential. Currently a NO-OP.
time_rec	This parameter will contain the received period of validity of the delegated credential upon success. May be NULL.
delegated_cred_handle	This parameter will contain the delegated credential upon success.
mech_type	Returns the security mechanism upon success. Currently not implemented. May be NULL.
output_token	A token that should be passed to gss_init_delegation if the return value is GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED.

Return values

GSS_S_COMPLETE	Successful completion
GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED	The function needs to be called again.
GSS_S_FAILURE	Failure

OM_uint32 GSS_CALLCONV gss_init_delegation	(	OM_uint32 *	minor_status,
		const gss_ctx_id_t	context_handle,
		const gss_cred_id_t	cred_handle,
		const gss_OID	desired_mech,
		const gss_OID_set	extension_oids,
		const gss_buffer_set_t	extension_buffers,
		const gss_buffer_t	input_token,
		OM_uint32	req_flags,
		OM_uint32	time_req,
		gss_buffer_t	output_token
	)

Initiate Delegation.

This functions drives the initiating side of the credential delegation process. It is expected to be called in tandem with the gss_accept_delegation function.

Parameters

minor_status	The minor status returned by this function. This parameter will be 0 upon success.
context_handle	The security context over which the credential is delegated.
cred_handle	The credential to be delegated. May be GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL in which case the credential associated with the security context is used.
desired_mech	The desired security mechanism. Currently not used. May be GSS_C_NO_OID.
extension_oids	A set of extension OIDs corresponding to buffers in the extension_buffers parameter below. The extensions specified will be added to the delegated credential. May be GSS_C_NO_BUFFER_SET.
extension_buffers	A set of extension buffers corresponding to OIDs in the extension_oids parameter above. May be GSS_C_NO_BUFFER_SET.
input_token	The token that was produced by a prior call to gss_accept_delegation. This parameter will be ignored the first time this function is called.
req_flags	Flags that modify the behavior of the function. Currently only GSS_C_GLOBUS_SSL_COMPATIBLE and GSS_C_GLOBUS_LIMITED_DELEG_PROXY_FLAG are checked for. The GSS_C_GLOBUS_SSL_COMPATIBLE flag results in tokens that aren't wrapped and GSS_C_GLOBUS_LIMITED_DELEG_PROXY_FLAG causes the delegated proxy to be limited (requires that no extensions are specified.
time_req	The requested period of validity (seconds) of the delegated credential. Passing a time_req of 0 cause the delegated credential to have the same lifetime as the credential that issued it.
output_token	A token that should be passed to gss_accept_delegation if the return value is GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED.

Return values

GSS_S_COMPLETE	Success
GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED	This function needs to be called again.
GSS_S_FAILURE	upon failure
