gss_import_sec_context(3)
NAME
  gss_import_sec_context - Import a security context established by another
  process.

SYNOPSIS
  #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

  OM_uint32 gss_import_sec_context(
	  OM_uint32 * minor_status,
	  const gss_buffer_t interprocess_token,
	  gss_ctx_id_t * context_handle );

PARAMETERS
  minor_status
	  Kerberos 5 error code.

  interprocess_token
	  Token received from the exporting process. After this call, the
	  token is no longer needed.

  context_handle
	  Security context imported by this function.

	  The application must release resources associated with the context
	  after use with a call to gss_delete_sec_context().

DESCRIPTION
  The gss_import_sec_context() function allows a process to import a security
  context established by another process.

  A given interprocess token should be imported only once.

				     Note

       Because of the way sequence numbers are incremented in security
       contexts, a single security context must not be used with multiple
       initiators and acceptors.

  After use, the application must release resources associated with the
  context with a call to gss_delete_sec_context().
