NAME
       rpc_clnt_auth:	auth_destroy(),	 authnone_create(),  authsys_create(),
       authsys_create_default() - library routines for client side remote pro‐
       cedure call authentication

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       These  routines are part of the RPC library that allows C language pro‐
       grams to make procedure calls on other  machines	 across	 the  network,
       with desired authentication.

       These  routines	are  normally  called  after creating the handle.  The
       field of the structure should be initialized by the structure  returned
       by  some of the following routines.  The client's authentication infor‐
       mation is passed to the server when the RPC call is made.

       Only the and the style of authentication is discussed  here.   For  the
       style authentication, please refer to secure_rpc(3N).

       The and style of authentication are safe in multithreaded applications.

       The  HP-UX  implementation  of  RPC  only supports the X/Open Transport
       Interface (XTI).	 Applications that are	written	 using	the  Transport
       Layer  Interface (TLI) and wish to use RPC, must convert their applica‐
       tion to XTI.

   Routines
       The following routines require that the header be included (see rpc(3N)
       for the definition of the data structure).

       A function macro that destroys the authentication
	      information  associated with auth.  Destruction usually involves
	      deallocation of private data structures.	The  use  of  auth  is
	      undefined after calling

       Create and return an RPC
	      authentication   handle  that  passes  nonusable	authentication
	      information with	each  remote  procedure	 call.	 This  is  the
	      default authentication used by RPC.

       Create and return an RPC authentication handle that contains
	      authentication  information.   The parameter host is the name of
	      the machine on which the information was	created;  uid  is  the
	      user's  user  ID;	 gid  is  the user's current group ID; len and
	      aup_gids refer to a counted array of groups to  which  the  user
	      belongs.

       Call   with the appropriate parameters.

MULTITHREAD USAGE
       Thread Safe:	     Yes
       Cancel Safe:	     Yes
       Fork Safe:	     No
       Async-cancel Safe:    No
       Async-signal Safe:    No

       These  functions	 can  be called safely in a multithreaded environment.
       They may be cancellation points in that they call  functions  that  are
       cancel points.

       In  a  multithreaded  environment,  these  functions are not safe to be
       called by a child process after and before These functions  should  not
       be  called  by  a  multithreaded application that supports asynchronous
       cancellation or asynchronous signals.
