Removes a key (server password) from a specified key table on a specific host
Synopsis
#include <dce/dced.h>
void dced_keytab_remove_key(
dced_binding_handle_t dced_bh,
uuid_t *keytab_uuid,
dced_key_t *key,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
dced_bh
Specifies the dced binding handle for the keytab service on a specific host.
keytab_uuid
Specifies the UUID dced maintains to identify the key table from which the key is to be removed.
key
Specifies the key to be removed from the key table.
Output
status
Returns the status code from this routine. This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not.
Description
The dced_keytab_remove_key( ) routine removes a key from a key table (file) on a specific host. The key table is specified with a keytab entry
UUID from the host's dced. Management applications use dced_keytab_remove_key( ) to remotely remove server keys from key tables. Typically, servers delete their own keys from
their local key tables implicitly by calling sec_key_mgmt_manage_key(3sec), or explicitly by calling
sec_key_mgmt_delete_key(3sec). Applications can delete an entire key table file using the dced_keytab_delete( ) routine.
Prior to calling this routine, the application must have established a valid dced binding handle to the keytab service by calling either the dced_binding_create( ) or dced_binding_from_rpc_binding( ) routine.
