gss_canonicalize_name(3) [debian man page]

gss_canonicalize_name(3)						gss						  gss_canonicalize_name(3)

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 con-
       text 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.

NAME

       gss_export_name - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gss.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_export_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_name_t input_name, gss_buffer_t exported_name);

ARGUMENTS

       OM_uint32 * minor_status
		   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       const gss_name_t input_name
		   (gss_name_t, read) The MN to be exported.

       gss_buffer_t exported_name
		   (gss_buffer_t, octet-string, modify) The canonical
		     contiguous string form of input_name.  Storage associated with
		     this string must freed by the application after use with
		     gss_release_buffer().

DESCRIPTION

       To produce a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism name (MN), suitable for direct comparison (e.g. with memcmp) for use
       in authorization functions (e.g. matching entries in an access-control list).  The input_name parameter must specify a valid  MN  (i.e.	an
       internal name generated by gss_accept_sec_context() or by gss_canonicalize_name()).

RETURN VALUE

       `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.

       `GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN`: The provided internal name was not a mechanism name.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAME`: The provided internal name was ill-formed.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE`: The internal name was of a type not supported by the GSS-API implementation.
