#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_compare_name(
OM_uint32 *minor_status,
const gss_name_t name1,
const gss_name_t name2,
int *name_equal);
DESCRIPTION
The
gss_compare_name() function allows an application to compare two
internal-form names to determine whether they refer to the same
entity.
If either name presented to
gss_compare_name() denotes an anonymous
principal, the routines indicate that the two names do not refer to
the same identity.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for
gss_compare_name() follow:
minor_status Mechanism-specific status code.
name1 Internal-form name.
name2 Internal-form name.
name_equal If non-zero, the names refer to same entity. If 0,
the names refer to different entities. Strictly, the
names are not known to refer to the same identity.
ERRORS
The
gss_compare_name() function may return the following status
codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE The two names were of incomparable types.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME One or both of
name1 or
name2 was ill-formed.
GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for
which no specific
GSS status code is defined.
The mechanism-specific status code reported by
means of the
minor_status parameter details the
error condition.
