NAME

sec_login_get_pwent-Retrieve local host information associated with a login context

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/sec_login.h>

void sec_login_get_pwent (
    sec_login_handle_t login_context,
    sec_login_passwd_t *pwent,
    error_status_t *status );

PARAMETERS

Input

login_context

Login context from which information is to be retrieved.

Output

pwent

The retrieved information.

status

The completion status.

DESCRIPTION

The sec_login_get_pwent() routine retrieves local host-specific information (represented by an implementation-specific sec_login_passwd_t structure) from a login context.

This routine works only on (validated) login contexts that are explicitly specified (that is, it doesn't work on the default login context indicated by NULL).

ERRORS

error_status_ok

sec_login_s_context_invalid

sec_login_s_default_use

sec_login_s_info_not_avail

sec_login_s_not_certified

sec_rgy_object_not_found

sec_rgy_server_unavailable
