NAME

6       rpc_gss_mech_to_oid, rpc_gss_qop_to_num - map mechanism, QOP strings to
7       non-string values

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

19       Because in-kernel RPC routines use non-string values for mechanism  and
20       Quality  of  Protection  (QOP), these routines exist to map strings for
21       these attributes to their non-string  counterparts.    (The  non-string
22       values  for  QOP  and  mechanism are also found in the /etc/gss/qop and
23       /etc/gss/mech  files,  respectively.)  rpc_gss_mech_to_oid()  takes   a
24       string  representing a mechanism, as well as a pointer to a rpc_gss_OID
25       object identifier structure.  It then gives this structure values  cor‐
26       responding  to the indicated mechanism, so that the application can now
27       use the OID directly with RPC routines. rpc_gss_qop_to_num() does  much
28       the  same  thing,  taking strings for QOP and mechanism and returning a
29       number.

PARAMETERS

32       Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters may be found on the
33       rpcsec_gss(3NSL) man page.
34
35       mech     An  ASCII  string  representing the security mechanism in use.
36                Valid strings may be found in the /etc/gss/mech file.
37
38
39       oid      An object identifier of type rpc_gss_OID, whose  elements  are
40                usable by kernel-level RPC routines.
41
42
43       qop      This  is  an ASCII string which sets the quality of protection
44                (QOP) for the session. Appropriate values for this string  may
45                be found in the file /etc/gss/qop.
46
47
48       num      The non-string value for the QOP.
