 NAME
   sec_rgy_auth_plcy_get_info - Returns the authentication policy for
                                an account

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/policy.h>

 void sec_rgy_auth_plcy_get_info(
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         sec_rgy_login_name_t *account,
         sec_rgy_plcy_auth_t *auth_policy,
         error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

 Input

 context
        An opaque handle bound to a registry server.  Use
        sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.

 account
        A pointer to the account login name (type sec_rgy_login_name_t).
        A login name is composed of three character strings, containing
        the principal, group, and organization (PGO) names corresponding
        to the account.

 Output

 auth_policy
        A pointer to the sec_rgy_plcy_auth_t structure to receive the
        authentication policy. The authentication policy structure
        contains the maximum lifetime for an authentication ticket,
        and the maximum amount of time for which one can be renewed.

 status
        A pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion,
        the routine returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an
        error.

 DESCRIPTION

 The sec_rgy_auth_plcy_get_info() routine returns the authentication
 policy for the specified account. If no account is specified, the
 registry's authentication policy is returned.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_rgy_auth_plcy_get_info() routine requires the r (read)
 permission on the policy object or account principal from which the
 data is to be returned.

 NOTES

 The actual policy in effect will not correspond precisely to what
 is returned by this call if the overriding registry authentication
 policy is more restrictive than the policy for the specified account.
 Use sec_rgy_auth_plcy_get_effective() to return the policy currently
 in effect for the given account.
