GSS_CANONICALIZE_NAME(3)					Programmer's Manual					  GSS_CANONICALIZE_NAME(3)

NAME
     gss_canonicalize_name -- Convert an internal name to an MN

SYNOPSIS
     #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
     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(), speci-
     fying an OID set containing mech_type as its only member, followed by a call to gss_init_sec_context(), specifying mech_type as the authenti-
     cation mechanism.

PARAMETERS
     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().

RETURN VALUES
     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.
