46.Fn rpc_gss_set_callback "rpc_gss_callback_t *cb"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48Register a function which will be called when new security contexts
49are created on a server.
50This function will be called on the first RPC request which uses that
51context and has the opportunity of rejecting the request (for instance
52after matching the request credentials to an access control list).
53To accept the new security context, the callback should return
54.Dv TRUE ,
55otherwise
56.Dv FALSE .
57If the callback accepts a context, it becomes responsible for the
58lifetime of the delegated client credentials (if any).
59.Pp
60It is also possible to 'lock' the values of service and quality of
61protection used by the context.
62If a context is locked, any subsequent requests which use different
63values for service and quality of protection will be rejected.
64.Sh PARAMETERS
65.Bl -tag -width ".It gss_context"
66.It cb
67A structure containing the RPC program and version for this callback
68and a function which will be called when new contexts are created for
69the given RPC program and version
70.It req
71The RPC request using the new context
72.It deleg
73GSS-API delegated credentials (if any)
74.It gss_context
75The GSS-API context
76.It lock
77A structure used to enforce a particular QOP and service.
78Set
79.Fa lock->locked
80to
81.Dv TRUE
82to lock the service and QOP values
83.It cookie
84The callback function may set
85.Fa *cookie
86to any pointer sized value.
87This value can be accessed during the lifetime of the context via
88.Fn rpc_gss_getcred .
89.El
90.Sh RETURN VALUES
91Returns
92.Dv TRUE
93if the callback was registered successfully or
94.Dv FALSE
95otherwise

110.Sh BUGS
111There is no mechanism for informing a server when a security context
112has been deleted.
113This makes it difficult to allocate resources (e.g. to return via the
114callback's
115.Fa cookie
116argument).
