Re: GSS_Inquire_name()



I can't quite remember what I had intended :(

I think I must have meant 'all_attrs' to be the union of the other two
purely for conviennce. But on second (or third) thought I can't see why
an app might care for attrs without caring as to whether they are
authenticated or asserted.

(Also, there is the more general problem of what entity authenticated a given attribute. But for now I think GSS_Inquire_name() is plenty good
enough, minus the all_attrs argument anyways.)

So when should applications care about the name exists w/o checking content ?

I think there should only be an "all" and caller have to call get-name- attribute to get the attribute.

Love
