 #include <ictx.h>;

 int ictxRemoveIdContext
 (
  ictxStorageMech_t    *  storageMechanism,
  ictxIdContextCredential_t  *  credential,
  ictxError_t          *  errorInfo
 )

The ictxRemoveIdContext() function removes an identity context using the designated storage mechanism and credential to that context.

Authorities and Locks

Refer to storage mechanism for authority information. See ictxStorageMech--Identity Context Storage Mechanism Parameter.
