DESCRIPTION
Convert a contiguous string name to internal form.
In general,
the internal name returned (via the
Fa output_name
parameter) will not be an MN;
the exception to this is if the
Fa input_name_type
indicates that the contiguous string provided via the
Fa input_name_buffer
parameter is of type
GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME
in which case the returned internal name will be an MN for the
mechanism that exported the name.
PARAMETERS
minor_status
Mechanism specific status code.
input_name_buffer
Buffer containing contiguous string name to convert.
input_name_type
Object ID specifying type of printable name.
Applications may specify either
GSS_C_NO_OID
to use a mechanism-specific default printable syntax,
or an OID recognized by the GSS-API implementation to name a specific
namespace.
output_name
Returned name in internal form.
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_NAMETYPE
The
Fa input_name_type
was unrecognized
GSS_S_BAD_NAME
The
Fa input_name
parameter could not be interpreted as a name of the specified type
GSS_S_BAD_MECH
The input name-type was
GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME
but the mechanism contained within the input-name is not supported
