gss_display_name — Provide textual representation of opaque internal name

C Prototype

OM_uint32 gss_display_name(
        OM_uint32               * minor_status,
        gss_name_t                input_name,
        gss_buffer_t              output_name_buffer,
        gss_OID                 * output_name_type );

Arguments

minor_status (output)		An implementation-specific status code.
input_name (input)		The name to be displayed.
output_name_buffer (output)		A buffer to receive the textual name string. The application must free storage associated with this name after use with a call to `gss_release_buffer`.
output_name_type (output)		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

This routine 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 GSSAPI implementation.

If input_name denotes an anonymous principal, the routine will 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 the output_name_buffer.

Return Values

This routine returns one of the following GSS status codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE	Successful completion.
GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE	The type of `input_name` was not recognized.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME	The `input_name` was ill formed.
