krb5_init_context - Create a krb5 library context.¶
- krb5_error_code krb5_init_context(krb5_context * context)¶
| param: | [out] context - Library context |
|---|
| retval: |
|
|---|---|
| return: |
|
The context must be released by calling krb5_free_context() when it is no longer needed.
Warning
Any program or module that needs the Kerberos code to not trust the environment must use krb5_init_secure_context() , or clean out the environment.
