dce_server_sec_begin(3dce)
Establishes a server to receive fully authenticated remote procedure calls (RPCs) and to also act as a client to do authenticated RPCs
Synopsis
#include <dce/dced.h>
void dce_server_sec_begin(
unsigned32 flags,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
flags
Flags are set to manage keys and setup a login context. Valid values include the following:
dce_server_c_manage_key
dce_server_c_login
Output
status
Returns the status code from this routine. This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not.
Description
The dce_server_sec_begin( ) routine prepares a server to receive authenticated RPCs. It also sets up all that is required for the application, when
behaving as a client to other servers, to do authenticated RPCs as a client. When authentication is required, this call must precede all other RPC and DCE server initialization calls, including
dce_server_register( ). When your application is finished listening for RPCs, it should call the dce_server_sec_done( ) routine.
Errors
