NAME

sec_cred_get_delegate- Returns a handle to the privilege attributes of an intermediary in a delegation chain

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/sec_cred.h>

sec_cred_pa_handle_t sec_cred_get_delegate (
    rpc_authz_cred_handle_t callers_identity,
    sec_cred_cursor_t *cursor,
    error_status_t *status );

PARAMETERS

Input

callers_identity

A handle of type rpc_authz_cred_handle_t. This handle is supplied as output of the rpc_binding_inq_auth_caller() call.

Input/Output

cursor

As input, a pointer to a cursor of type sec_cred_cursor_t that has been initialized by the sec_cred_initialize_cursor() call. As an output argument, cursor is a pointer to a cursor of type sec_attr_srch_cursor_t that is positioned past the principal whose privilege attributes have been returned in this call.

Output

status

A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, status is assigned error_status_ok.

DESCRIPTION

The sec_cred_get_delegate() routine returns a handle to the the privilege attributes of an intermediary in a delegation chain that performed an authenticated RPC operation.

This call is used by servers. Clients use the sec_login_cred_get_delegate() routine to return the privilege attribute handle of an intermediary in a delegation chain.

The credential handle identified by callers_identity contains authentication and authorization information for all delegates in the chain. This call returns a handle (sec_cred_pa_handle_t) to the privilege attributes of one of the delegates in the binding handle. The sec_cred_pa_handle_t returned by this call is used in other sec_cred_get_*() calls to obtain privilege attribute information for a single delegate.

To obtain the privilege attributes of each delegate in the credential handle identified by callers_identity, execute this call until the message sec_cred_s_no_more_entries is returned.

Before you execute sec_cred_get_delegate(), you must execute

An rpc_binding_inq_auth_caller() call to obtain an rpc_authz_cred_handle_t for the callers_identity argument.

A sec_cred_initialize_cursor() call to initialize a cursor of type sec_cred_cursor_t.

Use the sec_cred_free_pa_handle() call to free the resources associated with the sec_cred_pa_handle_t.
