NAME

sec_rgy_site_open-Binds to a registry site

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/binding.h>

void sec_rgy_site_open(
    unsigned_char_t *site_name,
    sec_rgy_handle_t *context,
    error_status_t *status);

PARAMETERS

Input

site_name

A pointer to a character string (type unsigned_char_t) containing the name of the registry site to bind to. Supply this name in any of the following forms:

• To randomly choose a site to bind to in the named cell, specify a cell name (for example, /.../r_d.com or /.: for the local cell)

• To bind to a specific site in a specific cell, specify either the site's global name (for example, /.../r_d.com/subsys/dce/sec/rs_server_250_2) or the site's network address (for example, ncadg_ip_udp:15.22.144.248)

Note that if you specify the name of a specific secd to bind to and the name is not valid, the call will bind to a random site in the cell if the specified cell name is valid.

Output

context

A pointer to a sec_rgy_handle_t variable. Upon return, this contains a registry server handle indicating (bound to) the desired registry site.

status

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

DESCRIPTION

The sec_rgy_site_open() routine binds to a registry site at the level of security specified in the rpc_binding_set_auth_info() call. The site_name parameter identifies the registry to use. If site_name is NULL, or a zero-length string, a registry site in the local cell is selected by the client agent. The caller must have established a valid network identity for this call to succeed.

NOTES

To bind to a registry site, the use of the sec_rgy_site_bind() call is recommended in place of this call.

Like sec_rgy_site_open_query() routine, this routine binds arbitrarily to either an update or query site. Although update sites can accept queries, query sites cannot accept updates. To specifically select an update site, use sec_rgy_site_open_update().

FILES

/usr/include/dce/binding.idl

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

ERRORS

error_status_ok

The call was successful.

sec_login_s_no_current_context

No currently established network identity for which context exists.

sec_rgy_server_unavailable

Server unavailable.
