gss_context_time(3)
NAME
  gss_context_time - Determine remaining lifetime of security context.

SYNOPSIS
  #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

  OM_uint32 gss_context_time(
	  OM_uint32 * minor_status,
	  const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle,
	  OM_uint32 * time_rec );

PARAMETERS
  minor_status
	  Kerberos 5 error code.

  context_handle
	  Security context to be queried.

  time_rec
	  Number of seconds that remain in the lifetime of the security
	  context. Since the HP Application Security SDK does not support
	  context expiration, the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE is always returned.

DESCRIPTION
  The gss_context_time() function returns the number of seconds remaining in
  the security context's lifetime.

  The HP Application Security SDK does not support context expiration. A
  security context established using the Kerberos 5 security mechanism does
  not expire because the authentication process establishes long-lived
  symmetric session keys.

RETURN VALUES
  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ	  01xxxxxx
  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE	  02xxxxxx
  GSS_S_COMPLETE		  00000000
  GSS_S_FAILURE			  xx0Dxxxx
  GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT		  xx08xxxx

PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
  The HP Application Security Toolkit does not support context expiration.
