sec_id_parse_name(3sec)
Translates a global name into principal and cell names and UUIDs
Synopsis
#include <dce/secidmap.h>
void sec_id_parse_name(
sec_rgy_handle_t context,
sec_rgy_name_t
global_name,
sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep,
uuid_t *cell_idp,
sec_rgy_name_t
princ_namep,
uuid_t *princ_idp,
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.
global_name
The global (full) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form.
Output
cell_namep
The output name of the principal's home cell in sec_rgy_name_t form.
cell_idp
A pointer to the UUID of the home cell of the principal whose name is in question.
princ_namep
The local (with respect to the home cell) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form.
princ_idp
A pointer to the UUID of the principal whose name is in question.
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_parse_name( ) routine translates a global principal name into a cell name and a cell-relative principal name. It also returns the UUIDs
associated with the principal and its home cell.
The routine will not produce translations to any name for which a NULL pointer has been supplied.
Permissions Required
Only if princ_idp is requested as output does the sec_id_parse_name( ) routine require a permission. In this case, the routine requires
at least one permission of any kind on the account whose global principal name is to be translated.
