sec_login_handle_t
login_context,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
login_context
A value of sec_login_handle_t that provides an opaque handle to a login context for which delegation has been enabled.
Output
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, status is assigned error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.
Description
The sec_login_cred_get_initiator( ) routine returns a handle of type sec_cred_pa_handle_t to the privilege attributes of the delegation initiator.
The login context identified by login_context contains all members in the delegation chain. This call returns a handle (sec_cred_pa_handle_t) to the privilege attributes of the initiator. The sec_cred_pa_handle_t returned by this call is used in other sec_cred_get... calls to obtain privilege attribute information for the initiator single delegate.
Use the sec_cred_free_pa_handle( ) call to free the resources allocated to the sec_cred_pa_handle_t handle.
