GSS_IMPORT_NAME(3GSS)GSS_IMPORT_NAME(3GSS)NAMEgss_import_name - convert a contiguous string name to GSS_API internal
format
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_import_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status,
const gss_buffer_t input_name_buffer, const gss_OID input_name_type,
gss_name_t *output_name);
DESCRIPTION
The gss_import_name() function converts a contiguous string name to
internal form. In general, the internal name returned by means of the
output_name parameter will not be a mechanism name; the exception to
this is if the input_name_type indicates that the contiguous string
provided by means of the input_name_buffer parameter is of type
GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME, in which case, the returned internal name will be
a mechanism name for the mechanism that exported the name.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_import_name() follow:
minor_status
Status code returned by the underlying mechanism.
input_name_buffer
The gss_buffer_desc structure containing the name
to be imported.
input_name_type
A gss_OID that specifies the format that the
input_name_buffer is in.
output_name
The gss_name_t structure to receive the 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().
ERRORS
The gss_import_name() function may return the following status codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE
The gss_import_name() function completed success‐
fully.
GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE
The input_name_type was unrecognized.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME
The 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.
GSS_S_FAILURE
The underlying mechanism detected an error for
which no specific GSS status code is defined.
The mechanism-specific status code reported by
means of the minor_status parameter details the
error condition.
