RPC_GSS_SET_SVC_NAME(3NSL) Networking Services Library Functions
rpc_gss_set_svc_name - send a principal name to a server
#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h>
bool_t rpc_gss_set_svc_name(char *principal, char *mechanism,
u_int req_time,u_int program, u_int version);
rpc_gss_set_svc_name() sets the name of a principal the server is to
represent. If a server is going to act as more than one principal,
this procedure can be invoked for every such principal.
Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters may be found on
the rpcsec_gss(3NSL) man page.
principal
An ASCII string representing the server's principal
name, given in the form of service@host.
mech
An ASCII string representing the security mechanism in
use. Valid strings may be found in the /etc/gss/mech
file, or by using rpc_gss_get_mechanisms().
req_time
The time, in seconds, for which a credential should be
valid. Note that the req_time is a hint to the
underlying mechanism. The actual time that the
credential will remain valid is mechanism dependent. In
the case of kerberos the actual time will be
GSS_C_INDEFINITE.
program
The RPC program number for this service.
version
The RPC version number for this service.
rpc_gss_set_svc_name() returns TRUE if it is successful; otherwise,
use rpc_gss_get_error() to get the error associated with the
failure.
