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.
