NAME
gss_display_name - convert internal-form name to text SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_display_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_name_t input_name, gss_buffer_t output_name_buffer, gss_OID *output_name_type); DESCRIPTION
The gss_display_name() function allows an application to obtain a textual representation of an opaque internal-form name for display pur- poses. If input_name denotes an anonymous principal, the GSS-API returns the gss_OID value GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS as the output_name_type, and a tex- tual name that is syntactically distinct from all valid supported printable names in output_name_buffer. If input_name was created by a call to gss_import_name(3GSS), specifying GSS_C_NO_OID as the name-type, the GSS-API returns GSS_C_NO_OID by means of the output_name_type parameter. PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_display_name() follow: minor_status Mechanism-specific status code. input_name Name in internal form. output_name_buffer Buffer to receive textual name string. The application must free storage associated with this name after use with a call to gss_release_buffer(3GSS). output_name_type The type of the returned name. The returned gss_OID will be a pointer into static storage and should be treated as read-only by the caller. In particular, the application should not attempt to free it. Specify NULL if this parameter is not required. ERRORS
The gss_display_name() function may return the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. GSS_S_BAD_NAME The input_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 sta- tus code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
gss_inquire_mechs_for_name - list mechanisms that support the specified name-type SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_inquire_mechs_for_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_name_t input_name,gss_OID_set *mech_types); DESCRIPTION
The gss_inquire_mechs_for_name() function returns the set of mechanisms supported by the GSS-API that may be able to process the specified name. Each mechanism returned will recognize at least one element within the internal name. Some implementations of the GSS-API may perform this test by checking nametype information contained within the passed name and registra- tion information provided by individual mechanisms. This means that the mech_types set returned by the function may indicate that a par- ticular mechanism will understand the name, when in fact the mechanism would refuse to accept the name as input to gss_canonical- ize_name(3GSS), gss_init_sec_context(3GSS), gss_acquire_cred(3GSS), or gss_add_cred(3GSS), due to some property of the name itself rather than the name-type. Therefore, this function should be used only as a pre-filter for a call to a subsequent mechanism-specific function. PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_inquire_mechs_for_name() follow in alphabetical order: minor_status Mechanism-specific status code. input_name The name to which the inquiry relates. mech_types Set of mechanisms that may support the specified name. The returned OID set must be freed by the caller after use with a call to gss_release_oid_set(3GSS). ERRORS
The gss_inquire_mechs_for_name() function may return the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. GSS_S_BAD_NAME The input_name parameter was ill-formed. GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE The input_name parameter contained an invalid or unsupported type of name. 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. ATTRIBUTES
