NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       gss_compare_name - Compare two internal form names.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

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

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Kerberos 5 error code.  Internal form name to be compared.
       The application must obtain the internal form name beforehand
  using  a  call  such as gss_import_name().  Internal
       form name to be compared. The application must obtain  the
       internal  form  name  beforehand  using  a  call  such  as
       gss_import_name().  True -- The names refer  to  the  same
       entity.

              False -- The names do not refer to the same entity.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The gss_compare_name() function compares two internal form
       names  to  determine  if they are the same. When a name is
       created using a function  such  as  gss_import_name(),  an
       aggregate  structure  is  built  with a component for each
       security mechanism that supports the name type. Two  names
       are  equal  if  they refer to the same entity and security
       mechanisms.

       The  application  must  obtain  the  internal  form  names
       beforehand using a call such as gss_import_name().
