RPC_GSS_SECCREATE(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual RPC_GSS_SECCREATE(3)

rpc_gss_seccreate
create a security context using the RPCSEC_GSS protocol

RPC GSS-API Authentication Library (librpcsec_gss, -lrpcsec_gss)

#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);

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

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 desired mechanism for this security context. The value of mechanism should be the name of one of the security mechanisms listed in /etc/gss/mech.
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
Desired quality of protection or NULL for the default. Available values are listed in /etc/gss/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.

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.
