RPC_GSS_SET_SVC_NAME(3NSL) Networking Services Library Functions
NAME
rpc_gss_set_svc_name - send a principal name to a server
SYNOPSIS
#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);
DESCRIPTION
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.
PARAMETERS
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.
RETURN VALUES
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.
FILES
/etc/gss/mech File containing valid security mechanisms
