NAME
gss_canonicalize_name - convert an internal name to a mechanism name
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...]
#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
The gss_canonicalize_name() function generates a canonical mechanism
name from an arbitrary internal name. The mechanism name is the name
that would be returned to a context acceptor on successful authentica-
tion of a context where the initiator used the input_name in a success-
ful call to gss_acquire_cred(3GSS), specifying an OID set containing
mech_type as its only member, followed by a call to gss_init_sec_con-
text(3GSS), specifying mech_type as the authentication mechanism.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_canonicalize_name() follow:
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(3GSS).
ERRORS
The gss_canonicalize_name() function may return the status codes:
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 mecha-
nism.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME The provided internal 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 status code reported by
means of the minor_status parameter details the
error condition.
