NAME

csfgss_pPtr − get a pointer to an OID or an OID set

SYNOPSIS

#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
void ∗ csfgss_pPtr(
        char ∗ name );

PARAMETERS

nameThe data conforms to the Kerberos types described below. For example, the text string GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME could be specified to request the OID mechanism. 

HP supports all the name types outlined in RFC 1964 whenever possible. See gss_import_name() for more information about the following supported OIDs. 

GSS_KRB5_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE_NAME

GSS_KRB5_NT_MACHINE_UID_NAME

GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL
This is a synonym for GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME. 

GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME

GSS_KRB5_NT_STRING_UID_NAME

GSS_KRB5_NT_USER_NAME

rfc_krb5_c_OID
This is a synonym for GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME. 

gss_mech_set
This is a synonym for rfc_krb5_c_OID_set. 

rfc_krb5_c_OID_set
This is the set that contains rfc_krb5_c_OID. 

DESCRIPTION

The csfgss_pPtr() function takes a text string label and returns the address of the corresponding OID mechanism or OID mechanism set in static memory. The structure returned by this function must not be de-allocated. It should be treated as opaque. 

Application Security SDK provides an alternate function that can be used for this same purpose. This other function, csf_gss_get_OidAddress(), is preferred. 

RETURN VALUES

This function returns a pointer to the requested OID or OID set. 

PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS

This function is an extension of the GSS-API standard that is not supported by other GSS-API implementations.
