.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Provided to support the sharing of work between multiple processes.
|
|
This routine will typically be used by the context-acceptor,
|
|
in an application where a single process receives incoming connection
|
|
requests and accepts security contexts over them,
|
|
then passes the established context to one or more other processes for
|
|
message exchange.
|
|
.Fn gss_export_sec_context
|
|
deactivates the security context for the calling process and creates
|
|
an interprocess token which,
|
|
when passed to
|
|
.Fn gss_import_sec_context
|
|
in another process,
|
|
will re-activate the context in the second process.
|
|
Only a single instantiation of a given context may be active at any
|
|
one time;
|
|
a subsequent attempt by a context exporter to access the exported security context will fail.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The implementation may constrain the set of processes by which the
|
|
interprocess token may be imported,
|
|
either as a function of local security policy,
|
|
or as a result of implementation decisions.
|
|
For example,
|
|
some implementations may constrain contexts to be passed only between
|
|
processes that run under the same account,
|
|
or which are part of the same process group.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The interprocess token may contain security-sensitive information
|
|
(for example cryptographic keys).
|
|
While mechanisms are encouraged to either avoid placing such sensitive
|
|
information within interprocess tokens,
|
|
or to encrypt the token before returning it to the application,
|
|
in a typical object-library GSS-API implementation this may not be
|
|
possible.
|
|
Thus the application must take care to protect the interprocess token,
|
|
and ensure that any process to which the token is transferred is
|
|
trustworthy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If creation of the interprocess token is successful,
|
|
the implementation shall deallocate all process-wide resources
|
|
associated with the security context,
|
|
and set the context_handle to
|
|
.Dv GSS_C_NO_CONTEXT .
|
|
In the event of an error that makes it impossible to complete the
|
|
export of the security context,
|
|
the implementation must not return an interprocess token,
|
|
and should strive to leave the security context referenced by the
|
|
.Fa context_handle
|
|
parameter untouched.
|
|
If this is impossible,
|
|
it is permissible for the implementation to delete the security
|
|
context,
|
|
providing it also sets the
|
|
.Fa context_handle
|
|
parameter to
|
|
.Dv GSS_C_NO_CONTEXT .
