Class GSSAPI.Context
- Description
-
Class representing a security context; see RFC 2743 section 1.1.3.
The user usually instantiates one of the two inheriting classes
GSSAPI.InitContext or GSSAPI.AcceptContext , based on whether
the context should act as initiator or acceptor for the
connection. This class is instantiated directly for imported
contexts.
- Note
-
If a Context object for a partly or completely established
context is destructed, GSS_Delete_sec_context (RFC 2743,
section 2.2.3) is called. That function might do blocking
network I/O, which due to pike's object management might occur
essentially anytime in any thread if the object isn't explicitly
destructed. To avoid that, it's strongly recommended to call
delete in contexts that are no longer used.
