NAME sec_rgy_site_bind_query - Binds to a registry query site SYNOPSIS #include <dce/binding.h> void sec_rgy_site_bind_query( unsigned_char_t *site_name, sec_rgy_bind_auth_info_t *auth_info, sec_rgy_handle_t *context, error_status_t *status); PARAMETERS Input site_name A character string (type unsigned_char_t) containing the name of the registry site to bind to. Supply this name in any of the following forms: + To randomly choose a site to bind to in the named cell, specify a cell name (for example, /.../r_d.com or /.: for the local cell) + To bind to a specific site in a specific cell, specify either the site's global name (for example, /.../r_d.com/subsys/dce/sec/rs_server_250_2) or the site's network address (for example, ncadg_ip_udp:15.22.144.248) auth_info A pointer to the sec_rgy_bind_auth_info_t structure that identifies the authentication protocol, protection level, and authorization protocol to use in establishing the binding. (See the rpc_binding_set_auth_info() routine). If the sec_rgy_bind_auth_info_t structure specifies authenticated rpc, the caller must have established a valid network identity for this call to succeed. Output context A pointer to a sec_rgy_handle_t variable. Upon return, this contains a registry server handle indicating ("bound to") the desired registry site. status A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error. DESCRIPTION The sec_rgy_site_bind_query() routine binds to a registry query site at an arbitrary level of security. A registry query site is a satellite server that operates on a periodically updated copy of the main registry database. To change the registry database, it is necessary to change a registry update site, which then automatically updates its associated query sites. No changes can be made directly to a registry query database. The site_name parameter identifies the query site to use. If site_name is NULL, or a zero-length string, a query site in the local cell is selected by the client agent. The handle for the associated registry server is returned in context. NOTES Like sec_rgy_bind_open() routine, this routine binds arbitrarily to either an update or query site. Although update sites can accept queries, query sites cannot accept updates. To specifically select an update site, use sec_rgy_site_bind_update(). FILES SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]BINDING.IDL The idl file from which dce/binding.h was derived. ERRORS sec_login_s_no_current_context The caller does not have a valid network login context. sec_rgy_server_unavailable The DCE Registry Server is unavailable. error_status_ok The call was successful.
