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

(Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
(gss_ctx_id_t, read) Identifies the context on
which the message arrived.
(buffer, opaque, read) Protected message.
(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().
(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, 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.
