Called once at the start of the process, to obtain the credentials the process is running under. The

Parameters
minor_statuspointer for return code
cred_usageGSS_C_INITIATE, GSS_C_ACCEPT, or GSS_C_BOTH
output_cred_handlePointer to the returned handle. This needs to be passed to many gss routines.
Returns
GSS_S_COMPLETE on success Other GSSAPI return codes

OM_uint32 globus_gss_assist_read_vhost_cred_dir ( OM_uint32 *  minor_status,
const char *  dir,
gss_cred_id_t **  output_credentials_array,
size_t *  output_credentials_array_size 
)

Acquire all GSSAPI credentials in a directory.

This function loads all of the credentials available in the vhost credential directory and returns them in its output parameters.

The credentials directory is expected to contain a directory for each credential, with the directory containing cert.pem and privkey.pem files.

If the dir parameter is NULL, then this function uses the X509_VHOST_CRED_DIR environment variable, or the default /etc/grid-security/vhosts/ if it is not set.

Parameters
[out]minor_statusMechanism-specific error code
[in]dirOptional directory name to override X509_VHOST_CRED_DIR
[out]output_credentials_arrayPointer to a dynamic array allocated to hold credentials
[out]output_credentials_array_sizePointer to be set to the resulting size (in bytes) of the output_credentials_array
