rpc_gss_set_svc_name(Networking Services Library Funrpc_gss_set_svc_name(3NSL)NAMErpc_gss_set_svc_name - send a principal name to a server
SYNOPSIS
#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h>
bool_t rpc_gss_set_svc_name(char *principal, char *mechanism, u_int
req_time, u_int program, u_int version);
DESCRIPTIONrpc_gss_set_svc_name() sets the name of a principal the server is to
represent. If a server is going to act as more than one principal,
this procedure can be invoked for every such principal.
PARAMETERS
Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters may be found on the
rpcsec_gss(3NSL) man page.
principal An ASCII string representing the server's principal
name, given in the form of service@host.
mech An ASCII string representing the security mechanism in
use. Valid strings may be found in the /etc/gss/mech
file, or by using rpc_gss_get_mechanisms().
req_time The time, in seconds, for which a credential should
be valid. Note that the req_time is a hint to the
underlying mechanism. The actual time that the creden‐
tial will remain valid is mechanism dependent. In the
case of kerberos the actual time will be GSS_C_INDEFI‐
NITE.
program The RPC program number for this service.
version The RPC version number for this service.
RETURN VALUESrpc_gss_set_svc_name() returns TRUE if it is successful; otherwise,
use rpc_gss_get_error() to get the error associated with the failure.
FILES
/etc/gss/mech File containing valid security mechanisms
