The gss_inquire_names_for_mech() function returns the name types supported by a security mechanism.

Parameters

minor_status (Output)

A status code from the security mechanism.

mech_type (Input)

The mechanism to be queried as follows:

gss_mech_krb5_old

Beta Kerberos V5 mechanism

gss_mech_krb5

Kerberos V5 mechanism

mech_names (Output)

The name types supported by the specified mechanism. The gss_OID_set returned for this parameter should be released by calling the gss_release_oid_set() routine when it is no longer needed.

Return Value

The return value is one of the following status codes:

GSS_S_BAD_MECH: The requested mechanism is not supported.
GSS_S_COMPLETE: The routine completed successfully.
GSS_S_FAILURE: The routine failed for reasons that are not defined at the GSS level. The minor_status return parameter contains a mechanism-dependent error code describing the reason for the failure.
