NAME

sec_login_cred_get_delegate — Returns a handle to the privilege attributes of an intermediary in a delegation chain.  Used by clients. 

Synopsis

sec_cred_pa_handle_t sec_login_cred_get_delegate(
sec_login_handle_t login_context,
sec_cred_cursor_t ∗cursor,
error_status_t ∗status);

Parameters

Input

login_context
A value of sec_login_handle_t that provides an opaque handle to a login context for which delegation has been enabled.  The sec_login_handle_t that specifies the identity is supplied as output of the sec_login_become_delegate() call. 

Input/Output

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

Output

statusA pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion, status is assigned error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an error. 

Description

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

This call is used by clients.  Servers use the  sec_cred_get_delegate() routine to return the privilege attribute handle of an intermediary in a delegation chain. 

The login context identified by login_context contains all members in the delegation chain.  This call returns a handle (sec_cred_pa_handle_t) to the privilege attributes of one of the delegates in the login context.  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_login_cred_get_delegate(), you must execute a sec_login_cred_init_cursor() call to initialize a cursor of type sec_cred_cursor_t. 

Use the sec_cred_free_pa_handle() sec_cred_free_cursor() calls to free the resources allocated to the sec_cred_pa_handle_t  and cursor.
