 NAME
rpc_gss_set_svc_name - send a principal name to a server

 SYNOPSIS


#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h> 

bool_t rpc_gss_set_svc_name(char *principal, char *mechanism,
 u_int req_time,u_int program, u_int version);




 DESCRIPTION

rpc_gss_set_svc_name() sets the name of a principal the server is to
represent. If a server is going to act as more than one principal, this
procedure can be invoked for every such principal.

 PARAMETERS

Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters may be found on the
rpcsec_gss(3NSL) man page.


principal


An ASCII string representing the server's principal name, given in the form of
service@host.





mech


An ASCII string representing the security mechanism in use. Valid
strings may be found in the /etc/gss/mech file, or by using
rpc_gss_get_mechanisms().





req_time


The time, in seconds, for which a credential should be valid. Note that the
req_time is a hint to the underlying mechanism. The actual time that the
credential will remain valid is mechanism dependent. In the case of kerberos
the actual time will be GSS_C_INDEFINITE.





program


The RPC program number for this service.





version


The RPC version number for this service.




 RETURN VALUES

rpc_gss_set_svc_name() returns TRUE if it is successful;
otherwise, use rpc_gss_get_error() to get the error associated with the
failure.

 FILES

/etc/gss/mech


File containing valid security mechanisms
