GSS_IMPORT_SEC_CONTEXT(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions
gss_import_sec_context - import security context established by
another process

OM_uint32 gss_import_sec_context(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
const gss_buffer_t interprocess_token,gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle);
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).
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).
gss_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
reference.
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
context 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.
