gss_accept_sec_context(3) gss_accept_sec_context(3)
actual_mech_type Actual mechanism used. Specify NULL if not required.
output_token Returns a token to pass to the context acceptor. If no token is to be passed to the
context acceptor, the routine sets the length field of the returned token buffer to 0
(zero).
ret_flags Returns a bitmask containing six independent flags, each of which requests that the
context support a service option. The following symbolic names are provided to
correspond to each flag. The symbolic names should be logically ANDed with the
value of ret_flags to test whether the context supports the service option.
GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG
. The True/False values are:
True Delegated credentials are available from the delegated_cred_handle
parameter.
False No credentials were delegated.
GSS_C_MUTUAL_FLAG
. The True/False values are:
True The context acceptor requested mutual authentication.
False The context acceptor did not request mutual authentication.
GSS_C_REPLAY_FLAG
. The True/False values are:
True Replayed signed or sealed messages will be detected.
False Replayed messages will not be detected.
GSS_C_SEQUENCE_FLAG
. The True/False values are:
True Out-of-sequence signed or sealed messages will be detected.
False Out-of-sequence signed or sealed messages will not be detected.
GSS_C_CONF_FLAG. The True/False values are:
True Confidentiality services are available by calling the
gss_seal()
routine.
False Confidentiality services are not available. However, the application
can call the gss_seal() routine to provide message encapsulation,
data-origin authentication, and integrity services.
GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG. The True/False values are:
True Integrity services can be invoked by calling either the
gss_sign()
or gss_seal() routine.
False Integrity services for individual messages are not available.
GSS_C_ANON_FLAG. The True/False values are:
True The initiator’s identity has not been revealed, and will not be revealed
if any emitted token is passed to the acceptor.
False The initiator’s identity has been or will be authenticated normally.
GSS_C_PROT_READY_FLAG. The True/False values are:
True Protection services (as specified by the states of the
GSS_C_CONF_FLAG and GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG) are available for
use if the accompanying major status return value is either
GSS_S_COMPLETE or GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED
.
False Protection services (as specified by the states of the
GSS_C_CONF_FLAG and GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG) are available only
if the accompanying major status return value is
GSS_S_COMPLETE.
GSS_C_TRANS_FLAG. The True/False values are:
True The resultant security context may be transferred to other processes
via a call to gss_export_sec_context().
