Synopsis

sec_cred_pa_handle_t sec_login_cred_get_initiator(
sec_login_handle_t login_context,
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. 

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_initiator() routine returns a handle of type sec_cred_pa_handle_t to the privilege attributes of the delegation initiator. 

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 the initiator.  The sec_cred_pa_handle_t returned by this call is used in other sec_cred_get_∗ calls to obtain privilege attribute information for the initiator single delegate. 

Use the sec_cred_free_pa_handle() call to free the resources allocated to the sec_cred_pa_handle_t handle.
