dced_secval_validate(3dce)
Validates that the secd used by a specific host is legitimate
Synopsis
#include <dce/dced.h>
void dced_secval_validate(
dced_binding_handle_t dced_bh,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
dced_bh
Specifies the dced binding handle for the secval service on a specific host.
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 dced_secval_validate( ) routine validates and certifies for a specific host that the DCE Security daemon (secd) is legitimate. Typically, a
login program uses the security validation service when it uses the Security Service's Login API (routines that begin with sec_login). However, if a management application trusts some
remote host, it can use dced_secval_validate( ) to validate secd, without logging in to the host.
Errors
The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned. Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages.
