| ## sec_id_gen_name(3sec) Generates a global name from cell and principal UUIDs Synopsis #include <dce/secidmap.h> void sec_id_gen_name( sec_rgy_handle_t context, uuid_t *cell_idp, uuid_t *princ_idp, sec_rgy_name_t global_name, sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep, sec_rgy_name_t princ_namep, error_status_t *status); Parameters Input context An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open( ) to acquire a bound handle. cell_idp A pointer to the UUID of the home cell of the principal whose name is in question. princ_idp A pointer to the UUID of the principal whose name is in question. Output global_name The global (full) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form. cell_namep The name of the principal's home cell in sec_rgy_name_t form. princ_namep The local (with respect to the home cell) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form. status A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the function returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error. Description The sec_id_gen_name( ) routine generates a global name from input cell and principal UUIDs. For example, given a UUID specifying the cell /.../world/hp/brazil, and a UUID specifying a principal resident in that cell named writers/tom, the routine would return the global name of that principal, in this case, /.../world/hp/brazil/writers/tom. It also returns the simple names of the cell and principal, translated from the UUIDs. The routine will not produce translations to any name for which a NULL pointer has been supplied. Permissions Required The sec_id_gen_name( ) routine requires at least one permission of any kind on the account associated with the input cell and principal UUIDs. Files /usr/include/dce/secidmap.idl The idl file from which dce/secidmap.h was derived. Errors The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned. Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages. sec_id_e_name_too_long The name is too long for current implementation. sec_id_e_bad_cell_uuid The cell UUID is not valid. sec_rgy_object_not_found The registry server could not find the specified principal. sec_rgy_server_unavailable The DCE Registry Server is unavailable. error_status_ok The call was successful.
