NAME

sec_id_gen_group-Generate a global group name from cell and group UUIDs.

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/secidmap.h>

void sec_id_gen_group(
    sec_rgy_handle_t context,
    uuid_t *cell_idp,
    uuid_t *group_idp,
    sec_rgy_name_t global_name,
    sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep,
    sec_rgy_name_t group_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 group whose name is in question.

group_idp

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

Input/Output

global_name

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

cell_namep

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

group_namep

The local (with respect to the home cell) name of the group 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_group() routine generates a global name from input cell and group UUIDs. For example, given a UUID specifying the cell /.../world/hp/brazil, and a UUID specifying a group resident in that cell named writers, the routine would return the global name of that group, in this case, /.../world/hp/brazil/writers. It also returns the simple names of the cell and group, translated from the UUIDs.

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

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 group.

sec_rgy_server_unavailable

The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.
