NAME
sec_login_set_context - Creates network credentials for a login
context
SYNOPSIS
#include <dce/sec_login.h>
void sec_login_set_context(
sec_login_handle_t login_context,
error_status_t *status);
PARAMETERS
Input
login_context
An opaque handle to login context data. The login context
contains, among other data, the account principal name and
UUID, account restrictions, records of group membership, and
the process home directory. (See sec_intro for more details
about the login context.)
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_login_set_context() routine sets the network credentials
to those specified by the login context. This context must have
been previously validated. Contexts acquired through
sec_login_get_current_context() or sec_login_newgroups() do not
need to be validated since those routines return previously
alidated contexts.
FILES
SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]SEC_LOGIN.IDL
The idl file from which dce/sec_login.h was derived.
ERRORS
sec_login_s_context_invalid
The login context itself is invalid.
sec_login_s_default_use
Illegal use of the default login handle occurred.
sec_login_s_auth_local
Operation not valid on local context.
error_status_ok
The call was successful.
EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates use of the sec_login_set_context()
routine as part of a straightforward login process:
if (sec_login_setup_identity( user_name,
sec_login_no_flags,
&login_context,
&st )) {
... get password from user...
if (sec_login_validate_identity(login_context, password,
&reset_passwd, &auth_src, &st)) {
if (!sec_login_certify_identity(login_context, &st))
exit(error_weird_auth_svc);
sec_login_set_context(login_context, &st);
if (auth_src != sec_login_auth_src_network)
printf("no network credentials");
if (reset_passwd) {
... get new password from user, reset registry record ...
};
sec_login_get_pwent(login_context, &pw_entry, &st);
if (pw_entry.pw_expire < todays_date) {
sec_login_purge_context(&login_context, &st);
exit(0)
}
... any other application specific login valid actions ...
}
} else {
sec_login_purge_context(&login_context, &st);
... application specific login failure actions ...
}
}
