RPC_GSS_SECCREATE(3)       Library Functions Manual       RPC_GSS_SECCREATE(3)

NAME
     rpc_gss_seccreate - create a security context using the RPCSEC_GSS
     protocol

SYNOPSIS
     #include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h>

     AUTH *
     rpc_gss_seccreate(CLIENT *clnt, const char *principal,
         const char  *mechanism, rpc_gss_service_t service, const char *qop,
         rpc_gss_options_req_t *options_req,
         rpc_gss_options_ret_t *options_ret);

DESCRIPTION
     This function is used to establish a security context between an
     application and a remote peer using the RPSEC_GSS protocol.

PARAMETERS
     clnt         An RPC handle which is connected to the remote peer

     principal    The name of the service principal on the remote peer.  For
                  instance, a principal such as "nfs@server.example.com" might
                  be used by an application which needs to contact an NFS
                  server

     mechanism    The name of the GSS_API mechanism to use for the new
                  security context.  "kerberos_v5" is currently the only
                  supported mechanism.

     service      Type of service requested.

                  rpc_gss_svc_default    The default - typically the same as
                                         rpc_gss_svc_none.

                  rpc_gss_svc_none       RPC headers only are integrity
                                         protected by a checksum.

                  rpc_gss_svc_integrity  RPC headers and data are integrity
                                         protected by a checksum.

                  rpc_gss_svc_privacy    RPC headers are integrity protected
                                         by a checksum and data is encrypted.

     qop          The name of the Quality of Protection to use for the new
                  security context, or NULL to use the default QOP.
                  "GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT" is currently the only supported QOP.

     options_req  Extra security context options to be passed to the
                  underlying GSS-API mechanism.  Pass NULL to supply default
                  values.

     options_ret  Various values returned by the underlying GSS-API mechanism.
                  Pass NULL if these values are not required.

RETURN VALUES
     If the security context was created successfully, a pointer to an AUTH
     structure that represents the context is returned.  To use this security
     context for subsequent RPC calls, set clnt->cl_auth to this value.

AVAILABILITY
     The rpc_gss_seccreate() function is part of libtirpc.
