NAME¶
gss_get_mic - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gss.h>
OM_uint32 gss_get_mic(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const
gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, gss_qop_t qop_req,
const gss_buffer_t message_buffer, gss_buffer_t
message_token);
ARGUMENTS¶
- OM_uint32 * minor_status
- (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
- const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle
- (gss_ctx_id_t, read) Identifies the context on
which the message will be sent.
- gss_qop_t qop_req
- (gss_qop_t, read, optional) Specifies requested quality
of protection. Callers are encouraged, on portability grounds,
to accept the default quality of protection offered by the chosen
mechanism, which may be requested by specifying GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT
for this parameter. If an unsupported protection strength is
requested, gss_get_mic will return a major_status of
GSS_S_BAD_QOP.
- const gss_buffer_t message_buffer
- (buffer, opaque, read) Message to be protected.
- gss_buffer_t message_token
- (buffer, opaque, modify) Buffer to receive token. The
application must free storage associated with this buffer after
use with a call to gss_release_buffer().
DESCRIPTION¶
Generates a cryptographic MIC for the supplied message, and places the MIC in a
token for transfer to the peer application. The qop_req parameter allows a
choice between several cryptographic algorithms, if supported by the chosen
mechanism.
Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted by
gss_wrap() to provide "secure framing", implementations must
support derivation of MICs from zero-length messages.
RETURN VALUE¶
`GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.
`GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED`: The context has already expired.
`GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT`: The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid
context.
`GSS_S_BAD_QOP`: The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
