GSS_PROCESS_CONTEXT_TOKEN(3GSS)		       GSS_PROCESS_CONTEXT_TOKEN(3GSS)

NAME
       gss_process_context_token - pass asynchronous token to security service

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

       OM_uint32 gss_process_context_token(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
	    const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle,const gss_buffer_t token_buffer);

DESCRIPTION
       The  gss_process_context_token()	 function  provides  a	way to pass an
       asynchronous token to the security service. Most	 context-level	tokens
       are  emitted  and processed synchronously by gss_init_sec_context() and
       gss_accept_sec_context(), and the application is informed as to whether
       further	tokens	are expected by the GSS_C_CONTINUE_NEEDED major status
       bit. Occasionally, a mechanism might need to emit a context-level token
       at  a point when the peer entity is not expecting a token. For example,
       the initiator's final call to gss_init_sec_context() may emit  a	 token
       and  return  a  status  of  GSS_S_COMPLETE,  but the acceptor's call to
       gss_accept_sec_context() might fail.  The  acceptor's  mechanism	 might
       want  to	 send a token containing an error indication to the initiator,
       but the initiator is not expecting a token  at  this  point,  believing
       that the context is fully established. gss_process_context_token() pro‐
       vides a way to pass such a token to the mechanism at any time.

       This function is provided for compatibility with the GSS-API version 1.
       Because gss_delete_sec_context() no longer returns a valid output_token
       to be sent to gss_process_context_token(), applications using  a	 newer
       version of the GSS-API do not need to rely on this function.

PARAMETERS
       The  parameter descriptions for gss_process_context_token() are as fol‐
       lows:

       minor_status
			 A mechanism-specific status code.

       context_handle
			 Context handle of context on which  token  is	to  be
			 processed.

       token_buffer
			 Token to process.

ERRORS
       gss_process_context_token() returns one of the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE
				Successful completion.

       GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN
				Indicates that consistency checks performed on
				the token failed.

       GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
				The context_handle did not refer  to  a	 valid
				context.

       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.
