OM_uint32 gss_context_time(OM_uint32 *minor_status,


     gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle,OM_uint32 *time_rec);

The gss_context_time() function determines the number of seconds for which the specified context will remain valid.

The parameter descriptions for gss_context_time() are as follows:

minor_status

A mechanism-specific status code.

context_handle

A read-only value. Identifies the context to be interrogated.

time_rec

Modifies the number of seconds that the context remains valid. If the context has already expired, returns zero.

The gss_context_time() function returns one of the following status codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE

Successful completion.

GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED

The context has already expired.

GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT

The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context.

GSS_S_FAILURE

The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
