NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       sia_make_entity_pwd - Make entity password - SIA (Security
       Integration Architecture)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <siad.h> #include <signal.h> #include <setjmp.h>

       int sia_make_entity_pwd(
               struct passwd *pwd,
               SIAENTITY *entity );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The entity parameter points  to  the  SIAENTITY  structure
       that  will  have  its  pwd data updated. The values in the
       SIAENTITY structure are changed by this routine.  The  pwd
       parameter  points  to  the passwd structure that will have
       its data duplicated by the pwd field of the entity  structure.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  sia_make_entity_pwd()  routine fills in the pwd field
       of the entity structure, using malloc() to ensure that the
       copied data is not overwritten by subsequent calls to getpwent().

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The sia_make_entity_pwd() routine  returns  SIASUCCESS  or
       SIAFAIL.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  errno value is not (normally) set explicitly by sia_*
       routines. The errno values are  those  returned  from  the
       dynamic  loader  interface,  from  dependent (siad_*) routines,
 or from malloc. Possible  errors  include  resource
       constraints  (no  memory) and various authentication failures.
