The gss_import_sec_context() function allows a process to import a security context established by another process. A given interprocess token can be imported only once. See gss_export_sec_context(3GSS).
The parameter descriptions for gss_import_sec_context() are as follows:
minor_status
A mechanism-specific status code.
interprocess_token
Token received from exporting process.
context_handle
Context handle of newly reactivated context. Resources associated with this context handle must be released by the application after use with a call to gss_delete_sec_context(3GSS).
gss_import_sec_context() returns one of the following status codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE
Successful completion.
GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
The token did not contain a valid context reference.
GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN
The token was invalid.
GSS_S_UNAVAILABLE
The operation is unavailable.
GSS_S_UNAUTHORIZED
Local policy prevents the import of this context by the current process.
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.
