NAME¶
gss_canonicalize_name - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gss.h>
OM_uint32 gss_canonicalize_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const
gss_name_t input_name, const gss_OID mech_type,
gss_name_t * output_name);
ARGUMENTS¶
- OM_uint32 * minor_status
- (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
- const gss_name_t input_name
- (gss_name_t, read) The name for which a canonical form
is desired.
- const gss_OID mech_type
- (Object ID, read) The authentication mechanism for
which the canonical form of the name is desired. The desired
mechanism must be specified explicitly; no default is provided.
- gss_name_t * output_name
- (gss_name_t, modify) The resultant canonical name.
Storage associated with this name must be freed by the
application after use with a call to gss_release_name().
DESCRIPTION¶
Generate a canonical mechanism name (MN) from an arbitrary internal name. The
mechanism name is the name that would be returned to a context acceptor on
successful authentication of a context where the initiator used the input_name
in a successful call to gss_acquire_cred, specifying an OID set containing
mech_type as its only member, followed by a call to
gss_init_sec_context(), specifying
mech_type as the
authentication mechanism.
RETURN VALUE¶
`GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.
