GSS_EXPORT_NAME(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual (prm) GSS_EXPORT_NAME(3)
NAME
gss_export_name - Convert an MN to export form
SYNOPSIS
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32
gss_export_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_name_t input_name,
gss_buffer_t exported_name);
DESCRIPTION
To produce a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism
name (MN), suitable for direct comparison (e.g. with memcmp) for use in
authorization functions (e.g. matching entries in an access-control
list). The input_name parameter must specify a valid MN (i.e. an
internal name generated by gss_accept_sec_context() or by
gss_canonicalize_name().)
PARAMETERS
minor_status Mechanism specific status code.
input_name The MN to be exported.
exported_name The canonical contiguous string form of input_name.
Storage associated with this string must freed by the
application after use with gss_release_buffer().
RETURN VALUES
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion
GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN The provided internal name was not a mechanism name.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME The provided internal name was ill-formed.
GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE The internal name was of a type not supported by the
GSS-API implementation.
