sec_rgy_site_binding_get_info(3sec)

Returns information from the registry binding handle

Synopsis

#include <dce/binding.h>

void sec_rgy_site_binding_get_info(

sec_rgy_handle_t context,
unsigned_char_t **cell_name,
unsigned_char_t **server_name,
unsigned_char_t **string_binding,
sec_rgy_bind_auth_info_t *auth_info,
error_status_t *status);

Parameters

Input

context
A sec_rgy_handle_t variable that contains a registry server handle indicating (bound to) the desired registry site. To obtain information on the default binding handle, initialize context to sec_rgy_default_handle. A valid login context must be set for the process if context is set to sec_rgy_default_handle; otherwise the error sec_under_login_s_no_current_context is returned.

Output

cell_name
The name of the home cell for this registry.

server_name
The name of the node on which the server is resident. This name is either a global name or a network address, depending on the form in which the name was input to the call that bound to the site.

string_binding
A string containing binding information from sec_rgy_handle_t.

auth_info
A pointer to the sec_rgy_bind_auth_info_t structure that identifies the authentication protocol, protection level, and authorization protocol to use in establishing the binding. (See the rpc_binding_set_auth_info( ) routine).

status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.

Description
The sec_rgy_site_binding_get_info( ) routine returns the site name and authentication information associated with the context parameter. If the context is the default context, the information for the default binding is returned. Passing in a NULL value for any of the output values (except for status) will prevent that value from being returned.

Memory is allocated for the string returned in the cell_name, server_name, and string_binding parameters. The application calls the rpc_string_free( ) routine to deallocate that memory.

Files

/usr/include/dce/binding.idl
The idl file from which dce/binding.h was derived.
