Method GSSAPI.Context()->export()

Method export

string export()

Description

Exports this context so that it can be imported in another process, providing the inter-process context transfer service is available (c.f. GSSAPI.TRANS_FLAG).

This wraps GSS_Export_sec_context according to RFC 2743 section 2.2.8.

The returned string is intended to be fed to GSSAPI.Context.create (or some other GSS_Import_sec_context wrapper) in the receiving process.

This operation frees the context in this object.
