ASC_LISTSEQV

Obtains a user's Security Equals attribute list and places it in the buffer supplied by the caller.

Syntax

#include <ascauth.h>
int ASC_LISTSEQV(ASCENV *asce, char *user, char *buf, u_int size);

Parameters

asce

The environment item returned from the call to ASC_INIT() or ASC_INIT_EXT().

user

The Enterprise User ID whose Security Equals list is to be returned.

buf

The buffer in which the security equivalence list is to be returned. Object names are separated by a new line ‘\n' character. The list is truncated and the call returns AS_TOOSMALL if the buffer size cannot hold the entire list.

size

The size of the buffer you provided.

Return Values

Returns one of the following integer values defined in ascauth.h:

AS_OK

Security equivalence list successfully returned

AS_NOUSER

User inactive or not found in the Census

AS_BADCLIENT

Local host is not authorized to query the Core Driver

AS_NOAGENT

No Core Driver could be contacted

AS_NOAUTHENV

No environment has been established

AS_INVALIDREQ

Call rejected by the Core Driver as not valid or not supported

AS_INVALIDARGS

Invalid arguments supplied to the function

AS_TOOSMALL

Size of pre-allocated buffer is too small-the list is truncated

AS_INVALIDOBJ

Specified object does not exist

AS_KEYEXPIRED

Old key rejected by the Core Driver because the expiration date has passed

Remarks

The list is truncated, and the call returns AS_TOOSMALL if the buffer size cannot hold the entire list. You can retry with a larger buffer.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ascauth.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  ASCENV *asce;
  char *object, buffer[2000];
  int rc;

  if (argc != 2) {
    fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s <object>\n", argv[0]);
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
  }

  object = argv[1];
  
/* initialize the authentication environment */
  asce = ASC_INIT(NULL);
  if (asce == NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Error: cannot initialize authentication environment\n");
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
  }

  /* Get security equivalence info */
  rc = ASC_LISTSEQV(asce, object, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
  if (rc == AS_OK)
    printf("Security equivalences of object %s:\n%s\n", object, buffer);
  else if (rc == AS_TOOSMALL) {
    printf("Security equivalences of object %s:\n%s\n", object, buffer);
    printf("** list was truncated because of lack of buffer space **\n");
  }
  else
    printf("RC=%d, %s", rc, ASC_STRERROR(rc));
   
  /* now terminate the authentication environment */
  ASC_TERM(asce);
  return 0;
}
