getsecretkey

getpublickey(3NSL)				       Networking Services Library Functions					getpublickey(3NSL)

NAME

       getpublickey, getsecretkey, publickey - retrieve public or secret key

SYNOPSIS

       #include <rpc/rpc.h>
       #include <rpc/key_prot.h>

       int getpublickey(const char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN], char publickey[HEXKEYBYTES+1]);

       int getsecretkey(const char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN], char secretkey[HEXKEYBYTES+1], const char *passwd);

DESCRIPTION

       getpublickey() and getsecretkey() get public and secret keys for netname. The key may come from one of the following sources:

	 o  the /etc/publickey file. See publickey(4).

	 o  the NIS map ``publickey.byname'' or the NIS+ table ``cred.org_dir''. The sources and their lookup order are specified in the /etc/nss-
	    witch.conf file. See nsswitch.conf(4).

       getsecretkey() has an extra argument, passwd, which is used to decrypt the encrypted secret key stored in the database.

RETURN VALUES

       Both routines return 1 if they are successful in finding the key. Otherwise, the routines return 0. The keys are  returned  as  null-termi-
       nated,  hexadecimal  strings. If the password supplied to getsecretkey() fails to decrypt the secret key, the routine will return 1 but the
       secretkey [0] will be set to NULL.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |MT-Level		     |Safe			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       secure_rpc(3NSL), nsswitch.conf(4), publickey(4), attributes(5)

WARNINGS

       If getpublickey() gets the public key from any source other than NIS+, all authenticated NIS+ operations may fail. To ensure that this does
       not happen, edit the nsswitch.conf(4) file to make sure that the public key is obtained from NIS+.

   NOTES
       NIS+  might  not  be  supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are
       available in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
