gss_import_name(3GSS) gss_import_name(3GSS)NAMEgss_import_name - convert a contiguous string name to GSS_API internal formatSYNOPSIScc [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 *out- put_name); 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. 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(). 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-spe- cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
