  • Article

The RpcMgmtInqServerPrincName function returns a server's principal name.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RpcMgmtInqServerPrincNameA(
  RPC_BINDING_HANDLE Binding,
  unsigned long      AuthnSvc,
  RPC_CSTR           *ServerPrincName
);

Parameters

Binding

To receive the principal name for a server, specify a server binding handle for that server. To receive the principal name for your own (local) application, specify a value of NULL.

AuthnSvc

Authentication service for which a principal name is returned. Valid values are the constant for any valid security provider.

ServerPrincName

Returns a principal name that is registered for the authentication service in AuthnSvc by the server referenced in Binding. If multiple names are registered, only one name is returned.

Return value

Value Meaning
RPC_S_OK
 The call succeeded.
RPC_S_INVALID_BINDING
 The binding handle was invalid.
RPC_S_WRONG_KIND_OF_BINDING
 This was the wrong kind of binding for the operation.
 
Note  For a list of valid error codes, see RPC Return Values.
 

Remarks

An application calls the RpcMgmtInqServerPrincName function to obtain the principal name of a server that is registered for a specified authentication service.

The RPC run-time library allocates memory for the string returned in ServerPrincName. The application is responsible for calling the RpcStringFree function to release the memory used by this function.

The server must be listening for remote procedure calls for this function to succeed. If the server is not listening, the function fails.

Note

The rpcdce.h header defines RpcMgmtInqServerPrincName as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
