NAME

rpc_gss_get_mechanisms, rpc_gss_get_mech_info, rpc_gss_get_versions, rpc_gss_is_installed- get information on mechanisms and RPC version

SYNOPSIS

#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h> 

char **rpc_gss_get_mechanisms();
char **rpc_gss_get_mech_info(char *mech, rpc_gss_service_t *service);
bool_t rpc_gss_get_versions(u_int *vers_hi, u_int *vers_lo);
bool_t rpc_gss_is installed(char *mech);

DESCRIPTION

These "convenience functions" return information on available security mechanisms and versions of RPCSEC_GSS.

rpc_gss_get_mechanisms()

Returns a list of supported security mechanisms as a null-terminated list of character strings.

rpc_gss_get_mech_info()

Takes two arguments: an ASCII string representing a mechanism type (e.g., "kerberosv5") and a pointer to a rpc_gss_service_t enum. Returns a null-terminated list of character strings of supported Quality of Protections (QOPs) for this mechanism.

rpc_gss_get_versions()

Returns the highest and lowest versions of RPCSEC_GSS supported.

rpc_gss_is_installed()

Takes an ASCII string representing a mechanism, and returns TRUE if the mechanism is installed.

PARAMETERS

Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters may be found on the rpcsec_gss(3N) man page.

mech

An ASCII string representing the security mechanism in use. Valid strings may also be found in the /etc/gss/mech file.

service

A pointer to a rpc_gss_service_t enum, representing the current security service (privacy, integrity, or none).

vers_hi
vers_lo

The highest and lowest versions of RPCSEC_GSS supported.

FILES

/etc/gss/mech

File containing valid security mechanisms

/etc/gss/qop

File containing valid QOP values
