RPC_GSS_SET_DEFAULTS(3NSL) Networking Services Library Functions
rpc_gss_set_defaults - change service, QOP for a session
#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h>
bool_t rpc_gss_set_defaults(AUTH *auth, rpc_gss_service_t service, char *qop);
rpc_gss_set_defaults() allows an application to change the service
(privacy, integrity, authentication, or none) and Quality of
Protection (QOP) for a transfer session. New values apply to the
rest of the session (unless changed again).
Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters may be found on
the rpcsec_gss(3NSL) man page.
auth
An RPC authentication handle returned by
rpc_gss_seccreate()).
service
An enum of type rpc_gss_service_t, representing one of
the following types of security service: authentication,
privacy, integrity, or none.
qop
A string representing Quality of Protection. Valid
strings may be found in the file /etc/gss/qop or by using
rpc_gss_get_mech_info().
rpc_gss_set_svc_name() returns TRUE if it is successful; otherwise,
use rpc_gss_get_error() to get the error associated with the failure.
/etc/gss/qop
File containing valid QOPs
