NAME
gss_display_name - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h>
OM_uint32 gss_display_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_name_t
input_name, gss_buffer_t output_name_buffer, gss_OID *
output_name_type);
ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status
(Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
const gss_name_t input_name
(gss_name_t, read) Name to be displayed.
gss_buffer_t output_name_buffer
(buffer, character-string, modify) Buffer to
receive textual name string. The application must free
storage
associated with this name after use with a call to
gss_release_buffer().
gss_OID * output_name_type
(Object ID, modify, optional) The type of the
returned name. The returned gss_OID will be a pointer
into
static storage, and should be treated as read-only by the
caller
(in particular, the application should not attempt to
free
it). Specify NULL if not required.
DESCRIPTION
Allows an application to obtain a textual representation of an opaque
internal-form name for display purposes. The syntax of a printable
name is defined by the GSS-API implementation.
If input_name denotes an anonymous principal, the implementation should
return the gss_OID value GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS as the output_name_type,
and a textual name that is syntactically distinct from all valid
supported printable names in output_name_buffer.
If input_name was created by a call to gss_import_name, specifying
GSS_C_NO_OID as the name-type, implementations that employ lazy
conversion between name types may return GSS_C_NO_OID via the
output_name_type parameter.
RETURN VALUE
‘GSS_S_COMPLETE‘: Successful completion.
‘GSS_S_BAD_NAME‘: input_name was ill-formed.
