Name

Synopsis

const gss_name_t input_name,gss_buffer_t exported_name);

Description

Generic Security Services API Library Functions          gss_export_name(3gss)



NAME
       gss_export_name - convert a mechanism name to export form

SYNOPSIS
       cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_export_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
            const gss_name_t input_name,gss_buffer_t exported_name);


DESCRIPTION
       The  gss_export_name()  function  allows  a GSS-API internal name to be
       converted into a  mechanism-specific  name.  The  function  produces  a
       canonical  contiguous  string representation of a mechanism name, suit-
       able for direct comparison, with memory(3C), or for use  in  authoriza-
       tion  functions,  matching  entries  in  an  access-control  list.  The
       input_name parameter must specify a valid mechanism name, that  is,  an
       internal   name   generated   by   gss_accept_sec_context(3GSS)  or  by
       gss_canonicalize_name(3GSS).

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_export_name() follow:

       minor_status     A mechanism-specific status code.


       input_name       The mechanism name to be exported.


       exported_name    The canonical contiguous string  form  of  input_name.
                        Storage  associated with this string must freed by the
                        application after use with gss_release_buffer(3GSS).


ERRORS
       The gss_export_name() function may return the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE       Successful completion.


       GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN    The provided internal name  was  not  a  mechanism
                            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.
