NAME

sec_id_parse_name-Translates a global name into principal and cell names and UUIDs

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/secidmap.h>

void sec_id_parse_name(
    sec_rgy_handle_t context,
    sec_rgy_name_t global_name,
    sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep,
    uuid_t *cell_idp,
    sec_rgy_name_t princ_namep,
    uuid_t *princ_idp,
    error_status_t *status);

PARAMETERS

Input

context

An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.

global_name

The global (full) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form (see Global PGO Names ).

Input/Output

cell_namep

The output name of the principal's home cell in sec_rgy_name_t form (see Global PGO Names ).

cell_idp

A pointer to the UUID of the home cell of the principal whose name is in question.

princ_namep

The local (with respect to the home cell) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form (see Global PGO Names ).

princ_idp

A pointer to the UUID of the principal whose name is in question.

Output

status

A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the function returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.

DESCRIPTION

The sec_id_parse_name() routine translates a global principal name into a cell name and a cell-relative principal name. It also returns the UUIDs associated with the principal and its home cell.

A NULL input to any Input/Output parameter suppresses parsing of that parameter.

Permissions Required
Only if princ_idp is requested as output does the sec_id_parse_name() routine require a permission. In this case, the routine requires at least one permission of any kind on the account whose global principal name is to be translated.

FILES

/usr/include/dce/secidmap.idl

The idl file from which dce/secidmap.h was derived.

ERRORS

error_status_ok

The call was successful.

sec_id_e_bad_cell_uuid

The cell UUID is not valid.

sec_id_e_name_too_long

The name is too long for current implementation.

sec_rgy_object_not_found

The registry server could not find the specified principal.

sec_rgy_server_unavailable

The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.
