Functions

int globus_gss_assist_token_get_fd (void *arg, void **bufp, size_t *sizep)

Detailed Description

Token routines using fread and fwrite.

Additional code has been added to detect tokens which are sent without a length field. These can currently be only SSL tokens. This does require some knowledge of the underlying GSSAPI, by the application, but is within the guidelines of the GSSAPI specifications.

The get routine will automaticly attempt this test, while a new send routine will check a flag. The old send routine will work as before, sending a 4-byte length.

     void * arg,

     void ** bufp,

     size_t * sizep)

Use a open file discriptor to get a token.
This function provides parameter types that allow it to be passed to globus_gss_assist_init_sec_context and globus_gss_assist_accept_sec_context

Parameters:
