NAME

       gss_canonicalize_name - convert an internal name to a mechanism name

SYNOPSIS

       cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.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);

DESCRIPTION

       The  gss_canonicalize_name() function generates a canonical mechanism name 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  suc-
       cessful	call  to  gss_acquire_cred(3GSS),  specifying  an  OID	set  containing  mech_type  as	its  only  member,  followed  by a call to
       gss_init_sec_context(3GSS), specifying mech_type as the authentication mechanism.

PARAMETERS

       The parameter descriptions for gss_canonicalize_name() follow:

       minor_status    Mechanism-specific status code.

       input_name      The name for which a canonical form is desired.

       mech_type       The authentication mechanism for which the canonical form of the name is desired.  The desired mechanism must be  specified
		       explicitly; no default is provided.

       output_name     The  resultant canonical name.  Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application after use with a call to
		       gss_release_name(3GSS).

ERRORS

       The gss_canonicalize_name() function may return the status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE	     Successful completion.

       GSS_S_BAD_MECH	     The identified mechanism is not supported.

       GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE    The provided internal name contains no elements that could be processed by the specified mechanism.

       GSS_S_BAD_NAME	     The provided internal name was ill-formed.

       GSS_S_FAILURE	     The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined.  The	mechanism-specific
			     status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.

NAME

       gss_import_name - convert a contiguous string name to GSS_API internal format

SYNOPSIS

       cc [flag ...]  file... -lgss [library ...]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_import_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status,
	    const gss_buffer_t input_name_buffer, const gss_OID input_name_type,
	    gss_name_t *output_name);

DESCRIPTION

       The  gss_import_name()  function converts a contiguous string name to internal form. In general, the internal name returned by means of the
       output_name parameter will not be a mechanism name; the exception to this is if the input_name_type indicates that  the	contiguous  string
       provided  by  means of the input_name_buffer parameter is of type GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME, in which case, the returned internal name will be a
       mechanism name for the mechanism that exported the name.

PARAMETERS

       The parameter descriptions for gss_import_name() follow:

       minor_status	    Status code returned by the underlying mechanism.

       input_name_buffer    The gss_buffer_desc structure containing the name to be imported.

       input_name_type	    A gss_OID that specifies the format that the input_name_buffer is in.

       output_name	    The gss_name_t structure to receive the returned name in internal form. Storage associated	with  this  name  must	be
			    freed by the application after use with a call to gss_release_name().

ERRORS

       The gss_import_name() function may return the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE	     The gss_import_name() function completed successfully.

       GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE    The input_name_type was unrecognized.

       GSS_S_BAD_NAME	     The input_name parameter could not be interpreted as a name of the specified type.

       GSS_S_BAD_MECH	     The input_name_type was GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME, but the mechanism contained within the input_name is not supported.

       GSS_S_FAILURE	     The  underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined.  The mechanism-specific
			     status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
