gss_compare_name(3)gss_compare_name(3)NAMEgss_compare_name - Compare two internal form names.
SYNOPSIS
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_compare_name(
OM_uint32 * minor_status,
const gss_name_t name1,
const gss_name_t name2,
int * const name_equal );
PARAMETERS
Kerberos 5 error code. Internal form name to be compared. The applica‐
tion must obtain the internal form name beforehand using a call such as
gss_import_name(). Internal form name to be compared. The application
must obtain the internal form name beforehand using a call such as
gss_import_name(). True -- The names refer to the same entity.
False -- The names do not refer to the same entity.
DESCRIPTION
The gss_compare_name() function compares two internal form names to
determine if they are the same. When a name is created using a function
such as gss_import_name(), an aggregate structure is built with a com‐
ponent for each security mechanism that supports the name type. Two
names are equal if they refer to the same entity and security mecha‐
nisms.
The application must obtain the internal form names beforehand using a
call such as gss_import_name().
RETURN VALUES
GSS_S_BAD_NAME xx02xxxx
GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE xx03xxxx
GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ 01xxxxxx
GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE 02xxxxxx
GSS_S_COMPLETE 00000000
GSS_S_FAILURE xx0Dxxxx
PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Anonymous principals are not supported by the HP implementation of GSS-
API.
