| ## dced_secval_validate(3dce) Validates that the secd used by a specific host is legitimate Synopsis #include <dce/dced.h> void dced_secval_validate( dced_binding_handle_t dced_bh, error_status_t *status); Parameters Input dced_bh Specifies the dced binding handle for the secval service on a specific host. Output status Returns the status code from this routine. This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not. Description The dced_secval_validate( ) routine validates and certifies for a specific host that the DCE Security daemon (secd) is legitimate. Typically, a login program uses the security validation service when it uses the Security Service's Login API (routines that begin with sec_login). However, if a management application trusts some remote host, it can use dced_secval_validate( ) to validate secd, without logging in to the host.
