RFC 1509            GSSAPI - Overview and C bindings      September 1993


   Function value:

      GSS status code:

      GSS_S_COMPLETE    Successful completion

3.14. gss_compare_name

      OM_uint32  gss_compare_name (
                     OM_uint32 *     minor_status,
                     gss_name_t      name1,
                     gss_name_t      name2,
                     int *           name_equal)

   Purpose:

   Allows an application to compare two internal-form names to determine
   whether they refer to the same entity.

   Parameters:

      minor_status      integer, modify
                        Mechanism specific status code.

      name1             gss_name_t, read
                        internal-form  name

      name2             gss_name_t, read
                        internal-form  name

      name_equal        boolean, modify
                        True - names refer to same entity
                        False - names refer to different entities
                                (strictly, the names are not known to
                                refer to the same identity).
   Function value:

      GSS status code:

      GSS_S_COMPLETE    Successful completion

      GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE The type contained within either name1 or
                        name2 was unrecognized, or the names were of
                        incomparable types.

      GSS_S_BAD_NAME    One or both of name1 or name2 was ill-formed

3.15. gss_display_name

      OM_uint32  gss_display_name (
                     OM_uint32 *     minor_status,
                     gss_name_t      input_name,
                     gss_buffer_t    output_name_buffer,
                     gss_OID *       output_name_type)

   Purpose:

   Allows an application to obtain a textual representation of an opaque
   internal-form  name for display purposes.  The syntax of a printable
   name is defined by the GSSAPI implementation.

   Parameters:

      minor_status      integer, modify
                        Mechanism specific status code.

      input_name        gss_name_t, read
                        name to be displayed

      output_name_buffer   buffer, character-string, modify
                           buffer to receive textual name string

      output_name_type  Object ID, modify
                        The type of the returned name.  The returned
                        gss_OID will be a pointer into static storage,
                        and should be treated as read-only by the caller
