 NAME
   sec_id_gen_name - Generates a global name from cell and principal
                     UUIDs

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/secidmap.h>

 void sec_id_gen_name(
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         uuid_t *cell_idp,
         uuid_t *princ_idp,
         sec_rgy_name_t global_name,
         sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep,
         sec_rgy_name_t princ_namep,
         error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

 Input

 context
       An opaque handle bound to a registry server.  Use
       sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.

 cell_idp
       A pointer to the UUID of the home cell of the principal whose
       name is in question.

 princ_idp
       A pointer to the UUID of the principal whose name is in question.

 Output

 global_name
       The global (full) name of the principal in sec_rgy_name_t form.

 cell_namep
       The name of the principal's home cell in sec_rgy_name_t form.

 princ_namep
       The local (with respect to the home cell) name of the principal in
       sec_rgy_name_t form.

 status
       A pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion, the
       function returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an error.

 DESCRIPTION

 The sec_id_gen_name() routine generates a global name from input cell
 and principal UUIDs.  For example, given a UUID specifying the
 cell /.../world/hp/brazil, and a UUID specifying a principal resident
 in that cell named writers/tom, the routine would return the global name
 of that principal, in this case, /.../world/hp/brazil/writers/tom. It
 also returns the simple names of the cell and principal, translated from
 the UUIDs.

 The routine will not produce translations to any name for which a NULL
 pointer has been supplied.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_id_gen_name() routine requires at least one permission of any
 kind on the account associated with the input cell and principal UUIDs.

 FILES
   SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]SECIDMAP.IDL
              The idl file from which dce/secidmap.h was derived.

 ERRORS

 sec_id_e_name_too_long
              The name is too long for current implementation.

 sec_id_e_bad_cell_uuid
              The cell UUID is not valid.

 sec_rgy_object_not_found
              The registry server could not find the specified principal.

 sec_rgy_server_unavailable
              The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.

 error_status_ok
              The call was successful.
