NAME

sec_id_gen_name — Generates a global name from cell and principal UUIDs

Synopsis

void sec_id_gen_name(
sec_rgy_handle_t context,
uuid_t ∗cell_idp,
uuid_t ∗princ_idp,
sec_rgy_name_t global_name,
sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep,
sec_rgy_name_t princ_namep,
error_status_t ∗status);

Parameters

Input

contextAn opaque handle bound to a registry server.  Use sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle. 

cell_idpA pointer to the UUID of the home cell of the principal whose name is in question. 

princ_idpA pointer to the UUID of the principal whose name is in question. 

Output

global_name
The global (full) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form. 

cell_namep
The name of the principal’s home cell in sec_rgy_name_t form. 

princ_namep
The local (with respect to the home cell) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form. 

statusA pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion, the function returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an error. 

Description

The sec_id_gen_name() routine generates a global name from input cell and principal UUIDs.  For example, given a UUID specifying the cell /.../world/hp/brazil, and a UUID specifying a principal resident in that cell named writers/tom, the routine would return the global name of that principal, in this case, /.../world/hp/brazil/writers/tom.  It also returns the simple names of the cell and principal, translated from the UUIDs. 

The routine will not produce translations to any name for which a NULL pointer has been supplied. 

Permissions Required

The sec_id_gen_name() routine requires at least one permission of any kind on the account associated with the input cell and principal UUIDs. 

Files

sec_id_e_name_too_long
The name is too long for current implementation.

sec_id_e_bad_cell_uuid
The cell UUID is not valid.

sec_rgy_object_not_found
The registry server could not find the specified principal.

sec_rgy_server_unavailable
The DCE registry server is unavailable.

error_status_ok
