 NAME
   sec_rgy_acct_add - Adds an account for a login name

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/acct.h>

 void sec_rgy_acct_add(
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         sec_rgy_login_name_t *login_name,
         sec_rgy_acct_key_t *key_parts,
         sec_rgy_acct_user_t *user_part,
         sec_rgy_acct_admin_t *admin_part,
         sec_passwd_rec_t *caller_key,
         sec_passwd_rec_t *new_key,
         sec_passwd_type_t new_keytype,
         sec_passwd_version_t *new_key_version,
         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.

 login_name
       A pointer to the account login name.  A login name is composed
       of three character strings, containing the principal, group,
       and organization (PGO) names corresponding to the account.
       All three names must be completely specified.

 key_parts
       A pointer to the minimum abbreviation allowed when logging in
       to the account. Abbreviations are not currently implemented and
       the only legal value is sec_rgy_acct_key_person.

 user_part
       A pointer to the sec_rgy_acct_user_t structure containing the
       user part of the account data. This represents such information
       as the account password, home directory, and default shell.

 admin_part
       A pointer to the sec_rgy_acct_admin_t structure containing the
       administrative part of an account's data. This information
       includes the account creation and expiration dates and flags
       describing limits to the use of privilege attribute certificates,
       among other information.

 caller_key
       A key to use to encrypt new_key for transmission to the registry
       server.

 new_key
       The password for the new account. During transmission to the
       registry server, it is encrypted with caller_key.

 new_keytype
       The type of the new key. The server uses this parameter to decide
       how to encode new_key if it is sent as plaintext.

 Output

 new_key_version
       The key version number returned by the server. If the client
       requests a particular key version number (via the version_number
       field of the new_key input parameter), the server returns the
       requested version number back to the client.

 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_acct_add() routine adds an account with the specified
 login name. The login name is given in three parts, corresponding to
 the principal, group, and organization names for the account.

 The key_parts variable specifies the minimum login abbreviation for
 the account. If the requested abbreviation duplicates an existing
 abbreviation for another account, the routine supplies the next
 shortest unique abbreviation and returns this abbreviation in
 key_parts.  Abbreviations are not currently implemented.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_rgy_acct_add() routine requires the following permissions on the
 account (principal) that is to be added:

  +  The m (mgmt_info) permission to change management information.

  +  The a (auth_info) permission to change authentication information.

  +  The u (user_info) permission to change user information.

 NOTES

 The constituent principal, group, and organization (PGO) items for
 an account must be added before the account can be created.  (See the
 sec_rgy_pgo_add() routine). Also, the principal must have been added
 as a member of the specified group and organization.  (See the
 sec_rgy_pgo_add_member() routine).

              group or organization.
