Detailed Description

extensions

Experimental GSSAPI routines are defined here. These may change, and we will be looking at adding these to Kerberos as mods, and submitting them to the IETF.

These extensions are more fully documented in GSS-API Extensions

Function Documentation

OM_uint32 GSS_CALLCONV gss_export_cred (OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_cred_id_tcred_handle, const gss_OIDdesired_mech, OM_uint32option_req, gss_buffer_texport_buffer)

Export a GSSAPI credential. Saves the credential so it can be checkpointed and imported by gss_import_cred

Parameters:

minor_status

cred_handle

desired_mech Should either be gss_mech_globus_gssapi_openssl or NULL (in which case gss_mech_globus_gssapi_openssl is assumed).

option_req

export_buffer

Returns:

OM_uint32 GSS_CALLCONV gss_import_cred (OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_cred_id_t *output_cred_handle, const gss_OIDdesired_mech, OM_uint32option_req, const gss_buffer_timport_buffer, OM_uint32time_req, OM_uint32 *time_rec)

Import a credential. This function will import credentials exported by gss_export_cred(). It is intended to allow a multiple use application to checkpoint delegated credentials.

Parameters:

minor_status The minor status returned by this function. This parameter will be 0 upon success.

output_cred_handle Upon success, this parameter will contain the imported credential. When no longer needed this credential should be freed using gss_release_cred().

desired_mech This parameter may be used to specify the desired security mechanism. May be GSS_C_NO_OID.

option_req This parameter indicates which option_req value was used to produce the import_buffer.

import_buffer A buffer produced by gss_export_credential().

time_req The requested period of validity (seconds) for the imported credential. May be NULL.

time_rec This parameter will contain the received period of validity of the imported credential upon success. May be NULL.

Return values:

GSS_S_COMPLETE Success

GSS_S_BAD_MECH Requested security mechanism is unavailable

GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN import_buffer is defective

GSS_S_FAILURE General failure

OM_uint32 GSS_CALLCONV gss_inquire_cred_by_oid (OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_cred_id_tcred_handle, const gss_OIDdesired_object, gss_buffer_set_t *data_set)

Inquire Cred By OID. NOTE: Checks both the cert in the credential and the certs in the cert chain for a valid extension that matches the desired OID. The first one found is used, starting with the endpoint cert, and then searching the cert chain.

Parameters:

minor_status

cred_handle

desired_object

data_set

Returns:

OM_uint32 GSS_CALLCONV gss_set_sec_context_option (OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle, const gss_OIDoption, const gss_buffer_tvalue)

Set Security Context Option. GSSAPI routine to initiate the sending of a security context See: <draft-ietf-cat-gssv2-cbind-04.txt>

Parameters:

minor_status

context_handle

option

value

Returns:
