NAME
gss_import_name - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.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);
ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status
(Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
const gss_buffer_t input_name_buffer
(buffer, octet-string, read) Buffer containing
contiguous string name to convert.
const gss_OID input_name_type
(Object ID, read, optional) 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.
gss_name_t * output_name
(gss_name_t, modify) 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().
DESCRIPTION
Convert a contiguous string name to internal form. In general, the
internal name returned (via the output_name parameter) will not be an
MN; the exception to this is if the input_name_type indicates that the
contiguous string provided via the 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.
RETURN VALUE
‘GSS_S_COMPLETE‘: Successful completion.
‘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.
