gss_unwrap(3)

NAME
gss_unwrap - API function

SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h>

OM_uint32 gss_unwrap(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, const gss_buffer_t input_message_buffer, gss_buffer_t output_message_buffer, int * conf_state, gss_qop_t * qop_state);

ARGUMENTS

OM_uint32 * minor_status
     (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle
     (gss_ctx_id_t, read) Identifies the context on
      which the message arrived.

const gss_buffer_t input_message_buffer
     (buffer, opaque, read) Protected message.

gss_buffer_t output_message_buffer
     (buffer, opaque, modify) Buffer to receive
      unwrapped message. Storage associated with this buffer must be
      freed by the application after use use with a call to
      gss_release_buffer().

int * conf_state
     (boolean, modify, optional) Non-zero - Confidentiality
      and integrity protection were used. Zero - Integrity service only
      was used. Specify NULL if not required.

gss_qop_t * qop_state
     (gss_qop_t, modify, optional) Quality of protection
      provided. Specify NULL if not required.

DESCRIPTION
Converts a message previously protected by gss_wrap back to a usable form, verifying the embedded MIC. The conf_state parameter indicates whether the message was encrypted; the qop_state parameter indicates the strength of protection that was used to provide the confidentiality and integrity services. Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted by gss_wrap() to provide "secure framing", implementations must support the wrapping and unwrapping of zero-length messages. Return value: `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion. `GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN`: The token failed consistency checks. `GSS_S_BAD_SIG`: The MIC was incorrect. `GSS_S_DUPLICATE_TOKEN`: The token was valid, and contained a
 correct MIC for the message, but it had already been processed. `GSS_S_OLD_TOKEN`: The token was valid, and contained a correct MIC for the message, but it is too old to check for duplication. `GSS_S_UNSEQ_TOKEN`: The token was valid, and contained a correct MIC for the message, but has been verified out of sequence; a later token has already been received. `GSS_S_GAP_TOKEN`: The token was valid, and contained a correct MIC for the message, but has been verified out of sequence; an earlier expected token has not yet been received. `GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED`: The context has already expired. `GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT`: The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context.
