to connect to the security manager</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>To use the security manager, a client must:</p>
<ol id="GUID-55BB4F8C-4F70-57B0-9A2B-C1E674C9E8A6">
<li id="GUID-3CABDB0B-F343-5C34-9B6C-F9AAC9CB585C"><p>Create a session to
the security manager, <xref href="GUID-B7CBABF9-93A1-3275-9CB0-CDF8A6606BB1.dita"><apiname>RBTMan</apiname></xref>, and open a connection.</p> </li>
<li id="GUID-1A0A7EFB-40E0-577F-926E-22C4A8C38201"><p>Create a subsession
to the security manager, <xref href="GUID-D536FA83-2535-3BF2-AC0D-EA0C7CA806BA.dita"><apiname>RBTSecuritySettings</apiname></xref>, and open
it. A client can have multiple subsessions open if required. (Sessions and
subsessions are part of Symbian platform's architecture for interprocess communication:
see <xref href="GUID-D0D27AEA-FDDB-5F6F-94F6-ADDF5910DC47.dita">Client/Server Overview</xref>).</p> </li>
<li id="GUID-972EB63B-4DCB-5589-8755-5C1EFC5D4977"><p>Close subsessions and
sessions when they are no longer needed.</p> </li>
</ol>


<p><b>Example</b> </p>
<p>The following example shows how to connect to the security manager:</p>
<codeblock id="GUID-5BC3C01F-C320-5853-8F24-5126145B778C" xml:space="preserve">
// 1. Create and open session to the security manager
RBTMan secMan;
User::LeaveIfError(secMan.Connect());

// 2. Create and open a subsession
RBTSecuritySettings secmanSubSession;
User::LeaveIfError(secmanSubSession.Open(secMan));

...
// 3. Cleanup
secmanSubSession.Close();
secMan.Close();
</codeblock>
