 NAME
   sec_key_mgmt_change_key - Changes a principal's key

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/keymgmt.h>

 void sec_key_mgmt_change_key(
         sec_key_mgmt_authn_service authn_service,
         void *arg,
         idl_char *principal_name,
         unsigned32 key_vno,
         void *keydata,
         sec_timeval_period_t *garbage_collect_time,
         error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

 Input

 authn_service
        Identifies the authentication protocol using this key.  The
        possible authentication protocols are as follows:

        rpc_c_authn_dce_secret
                    DCE shared-secret key authentication.

        rpc_c_authn_dce_public
                    DCE public key authentication (reserved for future
                    use).

 arg    This parameter can specify either the local key file or an
        argument to the get_key_fn key acquisition routine of the
        rpc_server_register_auth_info routine.
        A value of NULL specifies that the default key file
        (DCE$LOCAL:[KRB]V5SRVTAB.;) should be used.  A key file name
        specifies that file should be used as the key file.  You must
        prepend the file's absolute filename with FILE: and the file
        must have been created with the rgy_edit ktadd command or the
        sec_key_mgmt_set_key function.
        Any other value specifies an argument for the get_key_fn key
        acquisition routine. See the rpc_server_register_auth_info
        reference page for more information.

 principal_name
        A pointer to a character string indicating the name of the
        principal whose key is to be changed.

 key_vno
        The version number of the new key. If 0 (zero) is specified,
        the routine will select the next appropriate key version number.

 keydata
        A pointer to a structure of type sec_passwd_rec_t.

 Output

 garbage_collect_time
        The number of seconds that must elapse before all currently
        valid tickets (which are encoded with the current or previous
        keys) expire.  At that time, all obsolete keys may be "garbage
        collected", since no valid tickets encoded with those keys will
        remain outstanding on the network.

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

 DESCRIPTION

 The sec_key_mgmt_change_key() routine performs all activities necessary
 to update a principal's key to the specified value.  This includes
 updating any local storage for the principal's key and also performing
 any remote operations needed to keep the authentication protocol (or
 network registry) current.  Old keys for the principal are garbage
 collected if appropriate.

 FILES

            The idl file from which dce/keymgmt.h was derived.

 ERRORS

 Any error condition will leave the key state unchanged.

 sec_key_mgmt_e_key_unavailable
              The old key is not present and therefore cannot be used
              to set a client side authentication context.

 sec_key_mgmt_e_authn_invalid
              The authentication protocol is not valid.

 sec_key_mgmt_e_auth_unavailable
              The authentication protocol is not available to update
              the network database or to obtain the necessary network
              credentials.

 sec_key_mgmt_e_unauthorized
              The caller is not authorized to perform the operation.

 sec_key_mgmt_e_key_unsupported
              The key type is not supported.

 sec_key_mgmt_e_key_version_ex
              A key with this version number already exists.

 sec_rgy_server_unavailable
              The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.

 sec_rgy_object_not_found
              No principal was found with the given name.

 sec_login_s_no_memory
              A memory allocation error occurred.

 error_status_ok
              The call was successful.
