SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"

int lfc_getidmap (const char *username, int nbgroups, const char **groupnames, uid_t *userid, gid_t *gids)

int lfc_getidmapc (const char *username, const char *user_ca, int nbgroups, const char **groupnames, uid_t *userid, gid_t *gids)

DESCRIPTION

lfc_getidmap gets the virtual uid/gid(s) associated with a given dn/role(s). If the dn or any of the roles does not exist yet in the Database an entry is added to the mapping table.

username

specifies the user name (dn). It must be at most 255 characters long.

user_ca

specifies the CA from the user proxy. It must be at most 255 characters long.

nbgroups

is the number of group names.

groupnames

is the address of an array of group names (vo/role). Each group name must be at most 255 characters long. This pointer can be NULL. In this case the vo is obtained from a static mapping file.

userid

specifies the address of a buffer to receive the Virtual User Id.

gids

specifies the address of a buffer to receive the Virtual Group Ids. It must be big enough to receive nbgroups group ids, but at least one group id in case nbgroups is zero.

RETURN VALUE

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.
