NAME

sec_id_gen_name-Generate a global principal name from cell and principal UUIDs

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/secidmap.h>

void sec_id_gen_name (
    sec_rgy_handle_t context,
    uuid_t *cell_idp,
    uuid_t *princ_idp,
    sec_rgy_name_t global_name,
    sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep,
    sec_rgy_name_t princ_namep,
    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.

cell_idp

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

princ_idp

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

Input/Output

global_name

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

cell_namep

The name of the principal's home cell in sec_rgy_name_t form.

princ_namep

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

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_gen_name() routine generates a global name from input cell and principal UUIDs. For example, given a UUID specifying the cell /.../world/hp/brazil, and a UUID specifying a principal resident in that cell named writers/tom, the routine would return the global name of that principal, in this case, /.../world/hp/brazil/writers/tom. It also returns the simple names of the cell and principal, translated from the UUIDs.

The routine will not produce translations to any name for which a NULL pointer has been supplied.

Permissions Required

The sec_id_gen_name() routine requires at least one permission of any kind on the account associated with the input cell and principal UUIDs.

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.
