gss_delete_sec_context(3)gss_delete_sec_context(3)NAMEgss_delete_sec_context() - delete a security context
SYNOPSISDESCRIPTION
The routine deletes a security context. It also deletes the local data
structures associated with the security context. When it deletes the
context, the routine can generate a token. The application passes the
token to the context acceptor. The context acceptor then passes the
token to the routine, telling it to delete the context and all associ‐
ated local data structures.
When the context is deleted, the applications cannot use the con‐
text_handle parameter for additional security services.
Input Parameters
context_handle Specifies the context handle for the context to
delete.
Output Parameters
minor_status Returns a status code from the security mecha‐
nism.
output_token_buffer Returns a token to pass to the context acceptor.
STATUS CODES
The following status codes can be returned:
The routine was completed successfully.
The routine failed. See the
minor_status parameter return value for more
information.
The supplied context handle did not refer to a valid
context.
