GSS_CANONICALIZE_NAME(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual (prm) GSS_CANONICALIZE_NAME(3)

gss_canonicalize_name
Convert an internal name to an MN

#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);

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.

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().

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.

gss_acquire_cred(3), gss_init_sec_context(3), gss_release_name(3)
