Re: [gt-user] Any Globus function to find length of certificate chain from a credential handle?

[Neha Sharma]

I forgot to mention that I tried using below function. but it returns  
0 as the chain length

   major_status = gss_inquire_cred_by_oid(
                &minor_status,
                credential_handle,
                &cert_chain_oid,
                &cert_chain_buffers);
chain_length=cert_chain_buffers->count

where:

gss_OID_desc  cert_chain_oid = {11, "\x2b\x06\x01\x04\x01\x9b 
\x50\x01\x01\x01\x08"};
and I verified that credential_handle is not NULL

Also, I am not sure how this value "\x2b\x06\x01\x04\x01\x9b 
\x50\x01\x01\x01\x08" gets determined. I picked this up from the  
function that gets the cert chain length
from context.

Hi

I see that there is a globus function that lets you find out the  
length of certificate chain from a context handle.

gss_inquire_sec_context_by_oid(
               &minor_status,
               context_handle,
               &cert_chain_oid,
               &cert_chain_buffers);


Is there a similar function to find out the length of certificate  
chain from a credential handle?

Thanks
