Synopsis

#include <dce/sec_cred.h>

callers_pas,
error_status_t *
status);

Parameters

Input

callers_pas
A value of type sec_cred_pa_handle_t that provides a handle to a principal's privilege attributes. This handle is supplied as output of either the sec_cred_get_initiator( ) call or sec_cred_get_delegate( ) call.

Output

status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, status is assigned error_status_ok.

Description
The sec_cred_get_delegation_type ( ) routine extracts the delegation type from the privilege attribute handle identified by callers_pas and returns it in a sec_id_delegation_type_t.

Before you execute sec_cred_get_delegation_type( ), you must execute a sec_cred_get_initiator( ) or sec_cred_get_delegate( ) call to obtain a sec_cred_pa_handle_t for the callers_pas parameter.
