NAME

gss_release_cred - discard a credential handle  

SYNOPSIS

cc -flag ...  file ...-lgss [library ...] 
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

OM_uint32 gss_release_cred(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_cred_id_t *cred_handle);  

DESCRIPTION

The gss_release_cred() function informs the GSS-API that the specified credential handle is no longer required by the application and frees the associated resources. The cred_handle parameter is set to GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL when this call completes successfully.  

PARAMETERS

The parameter descriptions for gss_release_cred() follow:

minor_status A mechanism specific status code.

cred_handle An opaque handle that identifies the credential to be released. If GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL is specified, the gss_release_cred() function will complete successfully, but it will do nothing.

 

ERRORS

gss_release_cred() may return the following status codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE
 Successful completion.

GSS_S_NO_CRED The referenced credentials cannot be accessed.

GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
