Detailed Description
Handle attributes are used to control additional features of the GSI Proxy handle.
These features are operation independent.
Currently there are no attributes.

Initialize GSI Proxy Handle Attributes.
Initialize proxy handle attributes, which can (and should) be associated with a proxy handle. For most purposes, these attributes should primarily be used by the proxy handle.
Currently, no attibute values are initialized.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The handle attributes structure to be initialized |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS unless an error occurred, in which case, a globus error object ID is returned
- See also:
- globus_gsi_proxy_handle_attrs_destroy()
Set the length of the public key pair used by the proxy certificate.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | the attributes to set |
| bits | the length to set it to (usually 1024) |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS
Set the initial prime number used for generating public key pairs in the RSA algorithm.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The attributes to set |
| prime | The prime number to set it to This value needs to be a prime number |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS
Sets the Signing Algorithm to be used to sign the certificate request.
In most cases, the signing party will ignore this value, and sign with an algorithm of its choice.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The proxy handle to set the signing algorithm of |
| algorithm | The signing algorithm to set |
- Returns:
- Returns GLOBUS_SUCCESS if the handle is valid, otherwise an error object is returned.
Sets the clock skew in minutes of the proxy cert request so that time differences between hosts won't cause problems.
This value defaults to 5 minutes.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | the handle_attrs containing the clock skew to be set |
| skew | the amount to skew by (in seconds) |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS if the handle_attrs is valid - otherwise an error is returned.
Get the public/private key generation callback that provides status during the generation of the keys.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The handle_attrs to get the callback from |
| callback | The callback from the handle attributes |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS if the handle_attrs is valid, otherwise an error is returned
Make a copy of GSI Proxy handle attributes.
- Parameters:
-
| a | The handle attributes to copy |
| b | The copy |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS
Gets the length of the public key pair used by the proxy certificate.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | the attributes to get the key length from |
| bits | the length of the key pair in bits |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS
Get the initial prime number used for generating the public key pair in the RSA algorithm.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The attributes to get the initial prime number from |
| prime | The initial prime number taken from the attributes |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS
Gets the Signing Algorithm to used to sign the certificate request.
In most cases, the signing party will ignore this value, and sign with an algorithm of its choice.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The proxy handle_attrs to get the signing algorithm of |
| algorithm | Parameter used to return the signing algorithm used |
- Returns:
- Returns GLOBUS_SUCCESS if the handle is valid, otherwise an error object is returned.
Get the allowable clock skew for the proxy certificate.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The handle_attrs to get the clock skew from |
| skew | The allowable clock skew (in seconds) to get from the proxy certificate request. This value gets set by the function, so it needs to be a pointer. |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS if the handle_attrs is valid, otherwise an error is returned
Set the public/private key generation callback that provides status during the generation of the keys.
- Parameters:
-
| handle_attrs | The handle_attrs to get the callback from |
| callback | The callback from the handle attributes |
- Returns:
- GLOBUS_SUCCESS if the handle_attrs is valid, otherwise an error is returned
