NAME

       gss_userok - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gss.h>

       int gss_userok(const gss_name_t name, const char * username);

ARGUMENTS

       const gss_name_t name
                   (gss_name_t, read) Name to be compared.

       const char * username
                   Zero terminated string with username.

DESCRIPTION

       Compare  the username against the output from gss_export_name() invoked
       on name, after removing the leading OID.   This  answers  the  question
       whether  the  particular  mechanism would authenticate them as the same
       principal

       official GSS API.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 if the names match, non-0 otherwise.
