GSS_CANONICALIZE_NAME(3) Programmer's Manual GSS_CANONICALIZE_NAME(3)NAMEgss_canonicalize_name — Convert an internal name to an MN
SYNOPSIS
#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
Generate a canonical mechanism name (MN) from an arbitrary internal name.
The mechanism name is the name that would be returned to a context accep‐
tor on successful authentication of a context where the initiator used
the input_name in a successful call to gss_acquire_cred(), specifying an
OID set containing mech_type as its only member, followed by a call to
gss_init_sec_context(), specifying mech_type as the authentication mecha‐
nism.
PARAMETERS
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().
RETURN VALUES
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 mechanism.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME
The provided internal name was ill-formed.
