\fB\fIlifetime\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Number of seconds for which the credential remains valid. If the credential has
expired, this parameter will be set to zero. Specify \fBNULL\fR if the
parameter is not required.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIcred_usage\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Flag that indicates how a credential is used. The \fIcred_usage\fR parameter

is not required.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fImechanisms\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
