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
Fa input_name
in a successful call to
gss_acquire_cred (,);
specifying an OID set containing
Fa mech_type
as its only member,
followed by a call to
gss_init_sec_context (,);
specifying
Fa mech_type
as the authentication mechanism.
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.
