NAME
       gss_canonicalize_name - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gss.h>

       OM_uint32  gss_canonicalize_name(OM_uint32  *  minor_status,  const  gss_name_t input_name, const gss_OID
       mech_type, gss_name_t * output_name);


ARGUMENTS
       OM_uint32 * minor_status
                   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       const gss_name_t input_name
                   (gss_name_t, read) The name for which a canonical form
                     is desired.

       const gss_OID mech_type
                   (Object ID, read) The authentication mechanism for
                     which the canonical form of the name is desired.  The desired
                     mechanism must be specified explicitly; no default is provided.

       gss_name_t * output_name
                   (gss_name_t, modify) The resultant canonical name.
                     Storage associated with this name must be freed by the
                     application after use with a call to gss_release_name().


DESCRIPTION
       Generate a canonical mechanism name (MN) from an arbitrary internal name.  The mechanism name is the name
       that  would  be  returned  to  a  context  acceptor  on  successful authentication of a context where the
       initiator used the input_name in a successful call to gss_acquire_cred, specifying an OID set  containing
       mech_type  as  its only member, followed by a call to gss_init_sec_context(), specifying mech_type as the
       authentication mechanism.


RETURN VALUE
       `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.
