gss_canonicalize_name(3)              gss             gss_canonicalize_name(3)


NAME

       gss_canonicalize_name - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gss.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);


ARGUMENTS

       OM_uint32 * minor_status
                   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       const gss_name_t input_name
                   (gss_name_t, read) The name for which a canonical form
                     is desired.

       const gss_OID mech_type
                   (Object ID, read) The authentication mechanism for
                     which the canonical form of the name is desired.  The
                   desired
                     mechanism must be specified explicitly; no default is
                   provided.

       gss_name_t * output_name
                   (gss_name_t, modify) The resultant canonical name.
                     Storage associated with this name must be freed by the
                     application after use with a call to gss_release_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 acceptor 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 mechanism.


RETURN VALUE

       `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.
