NAME

gss_context_time − Determine remaining lifetime of security context. 

SYNOPSIS

#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_context_time(
        OM_uint32 ∗ minor_status,
        const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle,
        OM_uint32 ∗ time_rec );

PARAMETERS

minor_status
Kerberos 5 error code.

context_handle
Security context to be queried.

time_rec
Number of seconds that remain in the lifetime of the security context. Since the HP Application Security SDK does not support context expiration, the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE is always returned. 

DESCRIPTION

The gss_context_time() function returns the number of seconds remaining in the security context’s lifetime. 

The HP Application Security SDK does not support context expiration. A security context established using the Kerberos 5 security mechanism does not expire because the authentication process establishes long-lived symmetric session keys. 

RETURN VALUES

PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS

The HP Application Security Toolkit does not support context expiration.
