NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       csfgss_pPtr - get a pointer to an OID or an OID set

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       void * csfgss_pPtr(
               char * name );

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  data  conforms to the Kerberos types described below.
       For example, the  text  string  GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME
       could be specified to request the OID mechanism.

              HP supports all the name types outlined in RFC 1964
              whenever possible. See gss_import_name()  for  more
              information about the following supported OIDs.

              This is a synonym for GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME.

              This is a synonym for GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME.

              This is a synonym for rfc_krb5_c_OID_set.

              This is the set that contains rfc_krb5_c_OID.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  csfgss_pPtr()  function takes a text string label and
       returns the address of the corresponding OID mechanism  or
       OID mechanism set in static memory. The structure returned
       by this function must not be de-allocated.  It  should  be
       treated as opaque.

       Application  Security  SDK  provides an alternate function
       that can be used for this same purpose. This  other  function,
 csf_gss_get_OidAddress(), is preferred.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       This  function  returns  a pointer to the requested OID or
       OID set.

PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       This function is an extension of the GSS-API standard that
       is not supported by other GSS-API implementations.
