LWP_CACHE_CREDS(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					LWP_CACHE_CREDS(9)

NAME

     LWP_CACHE_CREDS -- synchronize LWP credential with process credential

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/lwp.h>

     void
     LWP_CACHE_CREDS(lwp_t *l, struct proc *p);

DESCRIPTION

     LWP_CACHE_CREDS() updates the LWP's cached credential to match with the process' credential if the latter has been changed after the last
     synchronization.

     Each LWPs have its cached credential so that it can be used without worrying about potential of other LWP changing the process' credential.
     kauth_cred_get() returns the cached credential.

     LWP_CACHE_CREDS() is called by MD entry code for system call and various traps.  LWPs which can live in kernel for long period should call
     LWP_CACHE_CREDS() by itsself to refresh its credential.

     LWP_CACHE_CREDS() takes the following arguments.

     l	The calling lwp.

     p	The process which the lwp l belongs to.

     LWP_CACHE_CREDS() might be implemented as a macro.

NAME

       gss_inquire_cred() - provide the calling application information about a credential

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       The routine provides information about a credential to the calling application.	The calling application must first have called the routine
       for a handle for the credential.

   Input Parameters
       cred_handle	     Specifies a handle for the target credential.  To get information about the default credential, specify

   Output Parameters
       name		     Returns the principal name asserted by the credential.  If the principal name is not required, specify NULL.

       lifetime 	     Returns the number of seconds for which the credential will remain valid.

			     If the credential expired, the parameter returns a 0 (zero).  If there is no  credential  expiration,  the  parameter
			     returns the value If an expiration time is not required, specify NULL.

       cred_usage	     Returns one of the following values describing how the application can use the credential:

			     If no usage information is required, specify NULL.

       mechs		     Returns a set of security mechanisms supported by the credential.

       minor_status	     Returns a status code from the security mechanism.

STATUS CODES

       The following status codes can be returned:

       The routine was completed successfully.

       The credentials expired.  If the
				lifetime parameter was passed as NULL, it is set to 0 (zero).

       The credentials were invalid.

       The routine failed.  Check the
				minor_status parameter for details.

       The routine could not access the credentials.
