Maps a Data Encryption Standard (DES) credential into a UNIX credential.
C Library (libc.a)
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
authdes_getucred (adc, uid, gid, grouplen, groups)
struct authdes_cred * adc;
short * uid;
short * gid;
short * grouplen;
int * groups;
The authdes_getucred subroutine interfaces to the secure authentication system known as DES. The server uses this subroutine to convert a DES credential, which is the independent operating system, into a UNIX credential. The authdes_getucred subroutine retrieves necessary information from a cache instead of using the network information service (NIS).
Upon successful completion, this subroutine returns a value of 1. If unsuccessful, it returns a value of 0.
