NAME
gss_compare_name( ) - allow an application to compare two internal names to determine whether they are
equivalent
SYNOPSIS
#include <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()
routine lets an application compare two internal names to determine
whether they are the same. This routine does not resolve the names to see if they refer to the same
object. It simply compares the input names for equivalence. If either name presented to
gss_compare_name()
denotes an anonymous principal, the routines should indicate that the two
names do not refer to the same identity.
Input Parameters
name1 Specifies the first internal name.
name2 Specifies the second internal name.
Output Parameters
name_equal Returns one of the following values:
True The names are the same.
False The names are not the same.
minor_status Returns a status code from the security mechanism.
STATUS CODES
The following status codes can be returned:
GSS_S_COMPLETE The routine was completed successfully.
GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE
The name passed by the name1 or name2 parameter is unsupported.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME An invalid name was passed by the name1 or name2 parameter.
GSS_S_FAILURE The routine failed. Check the minor_status parameter for details.
