The auth_meta structure provides additional, optional metadata for auth_login_meta(3),
auth_generic_meta(3), and auth_getuserinfo_meta(3).
struct auth_meta {
char **envvars;
};
Description of the above fields:
envvars
An array of opaque “name=value” strings, ending with a null pointer.
The library recognizes the following envvars variables:
TCPREMOTEIP
The IP address the authentication request came from.
Initializingadefaultauth_metaauth_meta_init_default creates an auth_meta with default values. A NULL pointer gets returned if the
object could not be created. auth_meta_destroy_default frees the object and all memory used by it, after
it is no longer needed.
Typical usage:
• auth_meta_init_default gets called to create an auth_meta.
• The pointer to the new auth_meta gets passed to auth_login_meta(3), auth_generic_meta(3) or
auth_getuserinfo_meta(3).
• auth_meta_destroy_default deallocates and frees auth_meta's memory.
Defaultauth_metavaluesauth_meta_init_default creates an auth_meta with the following values:
• The TCPREMOTEIP environment variable, if set, is placed in the TCPREMOTEIP envvars
