sec_id_gen_name(3sec)
Generates a global name from cell and principal UUIDs
Synopsis
#include <dce/secidmap.h>
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
context
An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open( ) to acquire a bound handle.
cell_idp
A pointer to the UUID of the home cell of the principal whose name is in question.
princ_idp
A 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.
status
A 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.
