siad_chk_user(3) Library Functions Manual siad_chk_user(3) NAME siad_chk_invoker - check invoker dependent routine for SIA (Security Integration Architecture) LIBRARY Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a) SYNOPSIS #include <sia.h> #include <siad.h> int siad_chk_invoker (void) DESCRIPTION siad_chk_invoker() The siad_chk_invoker() routine is called to verify that the calling program is sufficiently privileged to perform security checks or secu- rity information updates. Usually only the local security mechanism is configured to perform this check. Although multiple mechanisms can be utilized. RETURN VALUES The siad_chk_invoker() routine returns a bitmapped value which indicate the following status: SIADSUCCESS Indicates unconditional success. All bits set to 0. SIADFAIL Indicates conditional failure. Lowest bit set to 1. If other security mechanism are in place, continue. SIADSTOP Indicates unconditional failure. Do not continue. Sec- ond lowest bit set to 1. ERRORS The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from the (siad_*) routines, or from malloc. Possible errors include resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures. FILES /etc/passwd RELATED INFORMATION siad_chk_user(3), matrix.conf(4) Security delim off siad_chk_user(3)
