NAME
gss_canonicalize_name() — convert an internal name to an internal mechanism name (MN) representation of an opaque internal name
SYNOPSIS
#include <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()
routine 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(),
specifying an Object Identifier (OID) set
containing
mech_type
as its only member, followed by a call to
gss_init_sec_context(),
specifying
mech_type
as the authentication mechanism.
Input Parameters
- input_name
Specifies 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 Parameters
- output_name
The resultant canonical name.
- minor_status
Returns a status code from the security mechanism.
STATUS CODES
The following status codes can be returned:
- GSS_S_COMPLETE
The routine was completed successfully.
- 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.
- GSS_S_FAILURE
The routine failed. Check the
minor_status
parameter for details.
