 NAME
   sec_rgy_auth_plcy_set_info - Sets the authentication policy for an
                                account

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/policy.h>

 void sec_rgy_auth_plcy_set_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. All three names must be completely specified.

 auth_policy
        A pointer to the sec_rgy_plcy_auth_t structure containing 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.

 Output

 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_set_info() routine sets the indicated
 authentication policy for the specified account.  If no account
 is specified, the authentication policy is set for the registry
 as a whole.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_rgy_auth_plcy_set_info() routine requires the a (auth_info)
 permission on the policy object or account principal for which the
 data is to be set.

 NOTES

 The policy set on an account may be less restrictive than the policy
 set for the registry as a whole. In this case, the change in policy
 has no effect, since the effective policy is the most restrictive
 combination of the principal and registry authentication policies.
 (See the sec_rgy_auth_plcy_get_effective() routine).
