NAME

       GSSAPI::OID - methods for handling GSSAPI OIDs and some constant OIDs

SYNOPSIS

         use GSSAPI;

         #$oid = GSSAPI::OID->new;             # rarely needed or wanted

         $status = GSSAPI::OID->from_str($oid, "{ 1 2 840 113554 1 2 1 1 }");
         #
         # only supported on MIT Kerberos
         #

         $status = $oid->to_str($str);
         #
         # only supported on MIT Kerberos
         #

         $status = $oid->inquire_names($oidset);

         # Constant OIDs provided:
         $oid = gss_nt_user_name;
         $oid = gss_nt_machine_uid_name;
         $oid = gss_nt_string_uid_name;
         $oid = gss_nt_service_name;
         $oid = gss_nt_exported_name;
         $oid = gss_nt_service_name_v2;
         $oid = gss_nt_krb5_name;
         $oid = gss_nt_krb5_principal;
         $oid = gss_mech_krb5;
         $oid = gss_mech_krb5_old;
         $oid = gss_mech_krb5_v2;

         $oid = gss_mech_spnego;

         # if your GSSAPI implementation supports
         # SPNEGO (Heimdal 0.7 for example
         # you can  use mechtype OID::gss_mech_spnego.
         #
         # use GSSAPI::indicate_mechs( $oidset );
         # to get the of mechtypes your implementation supports

         $oid = gss_nt_hostbased_service; # GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE

DESCRIPTION

       "GSSAPI::OID" objects are used as unique indentifiers/constants for 'mechanisisms' -- the
       particular protocol and version being used -- and for the encodings used to represent
       names.  In many cases you can request the default mechanism or encoding for the
       implmentation by using GSS_C_NO_OID.  Check the description of the routine in rfc2743 if
       you're not sure.
