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.
ERRORSgss_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 mecha‐
nism-specific status code reported by means of the
minor_status parameter details the error condition.
