Networking Services Library Functionsrpc_gss_set_svc_name(3NSL)


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
