# globus\_gsi\_gss\_assist\_activation(3)

## NAME

Activation -

### Defines

\#define **GLOBUS\_GSI\_GSS\_ASSIST\_MODULE**\

## Detailed Description

Globus GSI GSS Assist uses standard Globus module activation and deactivation.

Before any Globus GSS Assist functions are called, the following function must be called:

```
      globus_module_activate(GLOBUS_GSI_GSS_ASSIST_MODULE);
```

This function returns GLOBUS\_SUCCESS if Globus GSI GSS Assist was successfully initialized, and you are therefore allowed to call GSS Assist functions. Otherwise, an error code is returned, and GSS Assist functions should not be subsequently called. This function may be called multiple times.

To deactivate Globus GSS Assist, the following function must be called:

```
    globus_module_deactivate(GLOBUS_GSI_GSS_ASSIST_MODULE)
```

This function should be called once for each time Globus GSI GSS Assist was activated.
